The eastern portion of the lake was served by two full service marinas. Gemmell's and Whitehead's are competing marinas providing car and boat parking, fuel, groceries, bait and water taxi service. Gemmell's changed hands in the fall of 1966 and was purchased by the Lundgren and Sutinen families and was renamed Penage Marina.
Whitehead's marina was purchased by Bill Blanchard and then resold to Vic and Judy Erola. In the late-1970s, Delky and Louis Dozzi purchased the Erola interests and renamed the marina Penage Bay Marina. In the early-1970s, the Lundgren's sold out to the Sutinen family. In June 1980 the Dozzi brothers purchased the Penage Marina from the Sutinens and combined the two marinas.[3] After 30 years of ownership, Louis Dozzi sold the Penage Bay Marina in 2007 to Guy Richard. In 2021 Guy sold the marina to Brendan and Alex and was rebranded to Panache Bay Marina.
The Panache Campers Association has been in the forefront in providing a safe environment for all on the lake. The Association funds and maintains the hazard beacons on the lake as well as being the stewards for a safe and clean environment for all.
