Anglers will find 42 miles of shoreline, plus numerous islands, tree stumps and shallow humps that attract fish. In fact, boaters should heed caution regarding submerged hazards around the lake. In winter when there is safe ice, locals enjoy ice fishing for numerous species. Areas of the shoreline for fishing from the bank, or portage of a canoe or kayak, are available at lakeside campgrounds.
