Squirrel’s Boat Rental had previously been located on the Walker County side of beautiful Smith Lake, and also the home of Smith Lake’s first marina, Richards’ Marina. In 2006, Richards’ Marina was purchased and the name was changed to Grand Clearwater Resort and Marina. Squirrel’s Boat Rental and Grand Clearwater Resort had operated at the same site. Today, Squirrel’s Boat Rental is on the middle of Lewis Smith Lake. We are located at the same location as Rock Creek Marina but offer different services.
