The best West Point Lake gifts either bring the lake home or get them back out on it: a hoodie or trucker hat with the West Point outline, a ceramic ornament for the tree, or a real lake experience like a pontoon day at Highland Marina, a guided striper trip, or a cabin weekend on the water. For the regular who launches at Corps ramps, a Corps of Engineers Annual Day Use Pass ($40 as last published by USACE) covers the $5 day-use fee at Corps fee areas on the lake.
West Point stretches 35 miles along the Georgia and Alabama line, so the 18 ideas below come from both sides, grouped by the kind of West Point person you're shopping for. Every product links to its own page, and every local experience has a website and a way to book or call.

For the one who's always on the water
1. West Point Lake Life Hoodie (from $54.99)
Early boat rides and fall evenings on the lake get cold fast. A hoodie with the West Point outline gets worn from the first cool morning in September until the water warms up again.
2. West Point Lake Life Dri-Fit Shirt (from $44.99)
A long sleeve, moisture-wicking shirt for anglers and anyone who spends a full July day on the water in the Georgia and Alabama sun.
3. West Point Lake Life Trucker Hat ($37.99)
The safest gift when you don't know their size, and it keeps the glare off while they're running the boat.
4. West Point Lake Life Heavy Cotton Tee (from $29.99)
The everyday lake shirt for cookouts, the ramp, and the drive down to LaGrange. If they'd like the design on both sides, there's a front and back printed tee at the same starting price.
5. West Point Ultra Cotton Long Sleeve Tee (from $44.99)
Good for spring and fall boating, when a hoodie is too much and a tee isn't enough.
6. West Point Lake Life Women's Racerback Tank (from $27.99)
For hot summer days on the pontoon.
For the West Point lake house
7. West Point Lake Life Canvas Gallery Wrap (from $44.99)
Their lake on the wall. It belongs above the mantel at the lake house, or at home in town for the weeks they can't get down to the water.
8. West Point Lake Life Ceramic Ornament ($24.99)
A reminder of the lake every time they decorate the tree. It's also a thoughtful add-on for someone celebrating their first Christmas in a West Point house.
For the littlest West Point fan
9. West Point Lake Kids Heavy Cotton Tee ($29.99)
So the kids can match the grown-ups on the boat. Grandparents with a place on the lake tend to love this one.
Local West Point experience gifts
Experience gifts are perfect for people who already have everything. Every option below was checked on the business's or agency's own website in October 2026. Where prices aren't posted, we give you the number to call.
10. A Corps of Engineers Annual Day Use Pass ($40 as last published)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages West Point Lake, and its launch and day-use fee is $5 per vehicle per day at fee areas like Rocky Point (as of October 2026), paid by card only. The annual pass is $40 in the Corps' latest published release. It's good for a year from purchase and covers Corps ramps and swim beaches at day-use fee areas nationwide. Call the West Point project office to confirm the current price. (For Georgia state parks, the annual ParkPass is $70 as of October 2026.)

11. A pontoon day at Highland Marina (Georgia side)
A day on the water without the cost of owning a boat. Highland Marina in LaGrange rents a Trifecta pontoon for up to 10 people, a Lowe pontoon, and a Double-Decker Party Pontoon with a slide for up to 14, plus single kayaks by the hour. Prices and renter rules aren't posted on its site, so check the booking page or call first.

12. A spring pontoon or cabin trip at Southern Harbor (Alabama side)
Southern Harbor Marina in Lanett rents a Trifecta pontoon for up to 10 people, with tubes as add-ons, and has one-, two-, and three-bedroom cabins. Its rentals, store, and fuel dock are closed for the season right now, so this is a spring or summer gift: promise the date in the card and call to set it up. Prices aren't posted online.

Good to know before anyone drives the boat:
- Georgia: everyone born on or after January 1, 1998, who operates a motorized vessel must have completed a boater education course (Georgia DNR). It's also illegal in Georgia to rent a personal watercraft to anyone under 16 (Georgia DNR).
- Alabama: no one under 12 may operate a motorized vessel, and the operator's certification or license must be in their possession while operating. Since October 1, 2024, nonresidents can use a valid boater safety certification from their home state (ALEA Marine Patrol).
13. Dinner at Captain's at Highland
Captain's at Highland sits inside Highland Marina, with dock access and outdoor seating. Think fresh steaks and seafood with house-made seasonings, plus handcrafted cocktails. Pair it with idea 11: an afternoon on the pontoon, then dinner. Arriving by boat? Call ahead to ask whether diners can tie up at the dock, and ask about gift cards, since the site doesn't mention them.

14. A cabin or chalet weekend at Highland Marina
Highland Marina has one-bedroom Lakeside, Lakepoint, and Beachfront cabins, plus two- and three-bedroom chalets. Guests must be 25 to book. The security deposit is $100 for one-bedroom cabins and $150 for the chalets (as of October 2026). Cancel 30 or more days out for a full refund; inside 30 days, the deposit is forfeited. Nightly rates only show in the booking engine. A cabin makes an anniversary gift; a chalet makes a family weekend.

15. A guided striper trip
West Point is bass country: largemouth and spotted bass, plus crappie and hybrids and stripers. Extreme Stripers Guide Service (Capt. Cy Grajcar) lists West Point Lake among the waters it fishes, and its site says "Trips start at $350 for two people, with an additional $50 per extra guest" (as of October 2026). Gift certificates aren't mentioned, so book the date together with the captain.

Add a fishing license. A Georgia resident annual license is $15 (as of October 2026) at Go Outdoors Georgia. Alabama residents can buy theirs through Outdoor Alabama. Local tip: thanks to a reciprocal agreement, either state's license is good on the main lake below the Georgia Highway 109 bridge, but not north of that bridge or up the tributary creeks (ADCNR).
16. A campsite night at a Corps campground
The Corps runs several campgrounds on the lake, including Holiday, Amity, R. Shaefer Heard, and Whitetail Ridge. Campsites start at $26 per night at Holiday and Amity and $36 at R. Shaefer Heard and Whitetail Ridge on Recreation.gov (as of October 2026). Book a site for a weekend and tuck the confirmation into a card with a hat.

17. A Floating Classroom cruise for the family
Chattahoochee Riverkeeper runs a two-hour guided outing on West Point Lake and the Chattahoochee River, with binoculars provided and optional water quality testing. Its 2025 flyer lists $15 per person with a $250 minimum booking fee and up to 35 passengers, so it suits a big family or a group. No 2026 season was posted when we checked, so call to confirm dates and pricing.

Stocking stuffers under $40
18. Small West Point gifts
Pair the $24.99 West Point ornament, the $37.99 trucker hat, or the $29.99 kids tee with a few practical lake extras:
- A floating keychain so the boat keys don't sink
- A waterproof phone pouch
- An insulated can cooler
- A $15 Georgia resident fishing license for the angler
How to pick the right West Point gift
- Not sure of their size? Go with the trucker hat, ornament, or canvas.
- They have a lake house? Decor (canvas or ornament) always finds a place.
- They have everything? Pick an experience: a pontoon day, a striper trip, or a cabin weekend.
- Order ahead for the holidays. Our products are made to order, and we estimate delivery in about a week, so give yourself extra time in December.
