Recreation

The location provides access to a variety of activities, including miles of off-road vehicle, hiking and mountain biking trails.

Anglers will find an abundance of musky, walleye, bass and pan fish in the lake, and the clear water is ideal for kayaking, canoeing and swimming. A sandy beach and a boat ramp provide convenient lake access.
