Lake Toys

Lake toys turn a dock into a day out for a family, a camp or a rental fleet. Pond Haven carries water trampolines and bouncers from Island Hopper and Rave Sports, banana boats that tow behind a boat, and the Rave Aqua Slide for getting off the platform fast. Every item inflates and anchors in open water. Compare capacity and diameter below, then choose the pieces your water depth supports.

Inflatable toys for lakes and large ponds

Start with the water you have, not the toy you want

Everything here inflates, floats and anchors in open water, so the first question is what your water can hold. Depth decides whether a jumping platform is safe at all, open area decides the diameter you can anchor without drifting into a dock, and the way you use the water decides the type. A bouncer or trampoline stays anchored in one spot for swimmers. A banana boat needs a boat or a PWC to tow it and a long clear run.

Size is the second decision. Island Hopper bouncers and trampolines run from 10 feet up to the 25-foot Giant Jump, and a bigger deck carries more jumpers and sits steadier in chop while a smaller one is easier to anchor, deflate and store over winter. Banana boats are sized by rider count instead, from a 3 person tube up to the 14 person Banana Buss. Attachments such as the Rave Aqua Slide, the Aqua Launch and the Island Hopper slide and blaster add-ons only fit the platforms they are made for, so check the product page before you add one.

Anchor everything before anyone gets on it, and recheck after wind. If the water itself needs work first, read how to make a pond swimmable and our pond depth guide, then compare the water trampolines and banana boats on their own pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer?

A water trampoline has a metal frame and springs, so it bounces like a backyard trampoline. A bouncer is all inflatable, softer underfoot, and usually the cheaper of the two. A water park is a bouncer or trampoline with play features such as a slide added.

How deep does the water need to be for a lake toy?

Check the depth requirement on the exact model, because it changes with the size of the platform. A 10-foot bouncer and a 25-foot trampoline are very different jumps. Our pond depth guide explains how to measure what you have.

Do you need a boat to use a banana boat?

Yes. Every banana boat here is a towable, so it needs a boat or a PWC with enough power for the rider count and a long clear stretch of water. The bouncers, trampolines and water parks are anchored instead and need no tow vehicle.

How do you anchor a lake toy?

Run anchor lines from the points on the frame to anchors that hold on the bottom, then recheck them after wind. A bigger deck catches more wind, so anchoring matters more as the diameter goes up. Confirm on the product page whether an anchor kit is included.

Can you use lake toys in a pond?

Yes, if the pond is deep enough for the model and the swim area is clear of hazards. Depth and open area are the limits, not the type of water. Read how to make a pond swimmable if the water needs work first.
