Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Bluegill, Large and Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike,  Panfish and Walleye.  Fishing poles and bait can be found near the boat house.  If you need assistance, simply ask a boatdriver or any staff member and we would be glad to help you. We do not provide fishing licenses, but you can  purchase them from nearby stores such as Mikana General Store and Seasonal Power Toys, located just a few miles from our parking lot.  Our staff will happily assist in transporting equipment.

GOLF is available at Tagalong Golf & Resort, originally part of the Stout estate. Our staff will help you arrange tee times and green fees. The course is a short drive from our parking lot. [Green fees are paid directly to Tagalong Golf Resort]

HIKING: The main island has a path all around its perimeter. The east island also has paths with a picnic cabin at the far north end. Book guides of our nature trails and gardens can be found in the office. Looking for something a little more challenging? It’s the great North Woods! And we’re home to a segment of the Ice Age Trail (1000 miles of trail all in the beautiful state of Wisconsin) so there’s plenty of walking and hiking to be found. See "trails and rivers" for more details.

HYDRO BIKES are available at the water sport area  on the far west end of the main island. This equipment is free of charge and is first-come, first-served. Our staff will be happy to give you instruction on operating equipment (just like riding a bike---only on water)!

There are weeds located in the area under the bridge that will get tangled in the propeller. Please avoid that area.

LABYRINTH: If you’re in a meditative mood, walk the labyrinth located on the south side of the island between the water sport area and the fire pit. Please remember that this is a peaceful endeavor and keep your volume respectful when enjoying or when others are enjoying.
