My family and I went jet skiing at Dear Creek back in August and we were pretty frustrated by quite a few things we observed. We arrived fairly early in the morning on a Saturday, and unfortunately the prices for parking were higher than we were told they would be. Not a big enough deal to deter us from having fun with our jet ski reservations. We get inside and a good portion of us have to use the restroom. There were very few bathrooms around, and the one we were able to find was absolutely disgusting. Toilet was smeared with everything and the toilet paper was running on the low end, so instead of making a seat cover and wasting what would probably run out within the next hour we had to hover. Lovely.

Signs were not clear as to were the jet ski station was, but we finally found it after walking around for half an hour. We got our life vests on and walked down to where the jet skis were. WOW. It was a steep decline with jagged rocks sticking up randomly, no steps and when you get to the, "beach" area, it was covered with rocks. Every step we took was a risk of sliding down the hill. The guys on duty ran through instructions very briefly, so I'm glad we had been jet skiing the week before at Bear Lake. The "slow" area was very large and took about 10 minutes to get out of before you could go full speed. When we finally got out we quickly realized how different the waters were at Deer Creek in comparison to Bear Lake. The narrow body of water creates far more waves making it so you are thrown about constantly. When you get going fast large waves would come up and drench you. No, there is nothing that can be done about this. It's a natural body of water. But apparently this happens more on busier days like a Saturday because of all the boats in the water. The jet ski model was much more narrow than the ones at Bear Lake and we (my son and I) almost fell off a dozen times. My sister saw and told us to go back and change ours out. When we got back he said he wouldn't change it out because they were all the same model (I hadn't even asked to change it out yet) and would do the same thing. He then proceeded to check the jet ski out to see if something else was wrong with it, he found nothing. He then offered for us to use a paddle boat to make up for the rest of our time, which was a nice gesture, but I was okay with just staying on land. The water was just too bumpy and I had never used a paddle boat before.

When my sister got back to land apparently the employee told her that he had offered me a different ski, which he definitely did not. I told my sister this after she asked me why I didn't come back out. She wasn't very happy with his dishonesty, but I told her that I was okay hanging out on shore.

Overall this is not the place to go jet skiing if you don't like the constant risk of being thrown or if you have a sportier model of your own jet ski.
