Though it doesn't match in size, the beauty is much easier to appreciate in the quieter areas. Whether you want to fish or relax on the shore, a quiet and beautiful lake is a day well spent.

While you're here, stop by the Lost Island Corner Store & Cafe for a blast from the past. It's a tiny cafe that is a perfect backup plan if you get too hungry. They serve simple foods to keep you fed and happy, so you can get back to your fishing and relaxing.

Out here, there's not much separating you from these beautiful skies. Whether you plan to stay for a few hours or a few days, this lake is a true beauty.
