A little local context
From downtown Covington to a Northshore water day.
Keep your shore-side plans separate from the approved boating route. Check the rental-area guide and follow current staff instructions.
Downtown Covington’s shops and galleries around Lee Lane and Columbia Street offer a different side of a Northshore visit from a day on the lake. If your group is starting in Covington, plan the road trip to Madisonville as its own part of the outing—not as a boat transfer from a downtown river landing.
Covington is the starting town for your travel plan, not the place where Northshore Boating releases rentals. Share the Marina Del Ray address with everyone joining you so that your group arrives at the same checkout point.
Before you head out
Choose the rental first, then build your day around it.
Browse the rental categories and send the type and date you prefer. A pontoon, a kayak and a jet ski suit different plans, so review the relevant category rather than treating them as interchangeable. Ask the team about availability and requirements before committing the rest of your schedule.
Downtown sightseeing, riverfront time and an approved rental route are not the same thing. Check the rental-area guide for where Northshore rentals may go, and review the safety information before launch. Your Madisonville departure and the staff’s current instructions define the water portion of the trip.

Questions from Covington.
Can I collect a Northshore rental in downtown Covington?
No. All Northshore Boating rental pickup is at 100 Marina Del Ray, Madisonville, LA 70447. We do not list a separate Covington branch or riverfront collection point.
Can I combine a Covington visit with a pontoon rental?
You can plan both activities, but first request your preferred rental date and let the team confirm the details. Allow for travel to Madisonville and the required checkout rather than assuming a departure time.
Does this page mean rentals launch on a Covington river?
No. This is a guide for people starting in or visiting Covington. Pickup is in Madisonville, and your on-water plans must stay within the approved rental area.
