Boat & Motor Rentals Aluminum boats with motors are available to rent by the hour, day or on a weekly basis. Life jackets are also available for all sizes of fishermen. There is lucrative fishing off the dock for kids. The current record is a 3 pound trout caught by a six year old. A boat and motor is recommended to fully appreciate this pristine wilderness. Where as many as 10 mule deer sightings have been spotted during a week-end of fishing. July and August is the best time to get photos of the pelicans. Some of the 22 miles of shore line has swampy bays where you can spot moose foraging for tender lily pads. Even though the lake is 877 hectares, you are never far from a shore lines because of the four islands that split the center yielding shelter from the breeze and more shoals to fish for the big one. |

Float-Tube Rentals Thinking of buying a belly boat but would like to try one out. We have two complete outfits available to rent. Jump into a 5 ml neoprene suit which will keep you warm & dry. Strap on some scuba fins. Grab your rod and go fishing. The large bay in front of the Cabins ranges from shallow reeds on the west where Finger Creek enters the Lake to a deep drop-off of 35 feet at the North-east shore. The bay itself is approxiamately 15-20' feet which ideal for the fly-fishing enthusiasts and where the 'lunkers' come to feed after sunset. |
