Welcome to Our Store

More Than a Store.
It's a Waterfront Experience.

Tucked right on the shores of Lake Hamlin, Waterfront Store has been the go-to spot for locals and visitors for years. Whether you're gearing up for a day on the water or just craving a cold treat and good conversation, you'll feel right at home here.

We've got the practical stuff covered — live and artificial bait, tackle, boat gas (including pre-mix non-ethanol 90 octane), and kayak, pontoon, and boat rentals. We also carry firewood and wood for your lakeside campfires. But we also believe in the fun side of lake life — stop by for hand-dipped ice cream, snacks, and cold beverages while you chat with neighbors and enjoy the view.
