No wake and a great variety of fish
Muskie, Walleye, Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Catfish... this lake has it all. Great for kayak fishing and trolling! Reviewed Aug 29, 2023

Due to the restoration project water is extremely low. DNR tried to put in a make shift ramp I would say it is a failure. Smaller boats can launch 18' and bigger make sure you have two guys. One in the boat one backing truck up till water is in the cab to get enough water under the boat.

I have not had much luck at this lake. It gets a lot of fishing pressure.
