Lots to Do—on the Land and the Lake!
Your kids will fill up their days playing on our small sand beach, hiking, swimming, exploring the area, catching frogs and fish, and trying out the canoe, rowboat, and paddleboat we share with the cottage next door. You can join your kids’ activities or just relax with a cup of coffee, read and watch swans glide by on the lake. Fish right off our dock or from the boats. Plentiful bass, bluegill, crappie, and pike. Use your powerboat or our pontoon boat for exploring the rest of Crooked Lake, tubing, cruising over to the public 4-H beach and playground and then hanging out at the sand bar. Love to waterski? Enjoy skimming across a 2-mile ski run that is calm enough for barefoot skiing and includes a slalom course! At the end of day, enjoy a sunset cruise before heading back to the cottage. Watch the spectacular sunsets, then gather around a roaring bonfire in the fire pit to enjoy roasting marshmallows and telling stories.
