NOCO Island Rules
Over the years, the NOCO Islands have become a Fort Collins staple, with water enthusiasts and novices alike taking advantage of the tropical feel in the Colorado sun. That’s why we at Island Lake Marine & Sports are proud to offer our Fort Collins customers different island options depending on their goals and personal preferences. With our dedication to your enjoyment and safety, as well as preserving the island's beauty, we’ve established a list of island rules that encourage all our Fort Collins attendees to enjoy their time to the fullest. We encourage you to read these requirements in full before your island adventure, as there are details regarding parking, safety measures, and equipment use.

By following directions carefully, you’ll encounter the designated parking spaces reserved for you and your group. After everyone has arrived and parked, a shuttle boat will transport everyone to the designated island; traveling to other islands is prohibited. There are also several safety measures that must be followed at all times, including wearing a personal floatation device properly during all swimming, wading, boat, and water toy activities.
