Our Story

When we created our logo, we had no idea it would grow into a cottage industry of our marketing firm. But, just like lake life itself, it caught on. Today, we sell LakeLife stickers and decals, T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, caps, visors, boat totes and more. No telling what’s next! It’s LakeLife ... It’s how you want to live.
