About the Frisco Bay Marina

Located on the shores of Dillon Reservoir at the eastern end of Main Street, the Frisco Bay Marina is where lake life meets quintessential mountain town. At just over nine thousand feet in elevation, this certified clean marina is your access point for these pristine alpine waters, a world-class sailing destination where regattas are frequently held. 

Summers in Frisco typically involve blue skies and temps in the 70s or 80s with low humidity. Maybe they’ll be a brief and refreshing mid-afternoon “sunshower”. In other words, summertime is usually just about as perfect as it gets.

Things to do at the Frisco Bay Marina

Whatever water sports you’re into, odds are we’ve got the equipment and gear to make it happen. The Frisco Bay Marina rents pontoon and fishing boats, kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards, fishing poles and so much more!

There’s also a sandy beach, waterside dining, and Marina Park, which has a playground ideal for a family picnic break while the kids blow off some steam.

Know before you go

We’re all about adopting a spontaneous sense of adventure here in Frisco. However, if you’re planning on renting a boat or watercraft of any kind, don’t show up without a reservation, or you’ll probably be out of luck. 

Also, although we do have a sandy beach here, there’s no lifeguard on duty. And frankly, the best way to enjoy Dillon Reservoir is on top of it. Due to local regulations swimming and water skiing are not permitted on Dillon Reservoir – bummer, we know. The water in this high alpine reservoir is simply too cold for swimming; after all, it was literally snow right before it arrived here.

The Frisco Bay Marina offices also carry snacks and refreshments so you won’t go hungry while on the water.

Paid summer parking at the Frisco Bay Marina

Paid parking at all Marina parking lots will go from Friday, May 24, 2024 through Monday, September 2, 2024 from 10:00am to 5:00pm each day. Think about walking, taking the Summit Stage, or biking instead of using your car to get to the Marina.
