Cruise on the Lake

On the resort grounds, you'll find everything you need for an easy getaway. Rent a spacious pontoon boat from the marina ($130 for 2 hours); then cruise the winding channel of the lake framed by woodlands. Troll along a deep diving plug, and you might land a muskie, one of America's largest freshwater fish.
