walleye population occurs. Anglers will also enjoy fishing for the
largemouth and smallmouth bass, muskie, crappie and bluegill which
abound in the lake. Winter offers many opportunities for ice fishing
enthusiasts. Marina services, boating and fishing supplies are also
available through concessionaires located at the lake.

species in particular are found in abundance and easy access to
