It'd be easy to spend your whole day just exploring the 40,000-acre lake. Be sure to stop by the marina if you need to rent a water toy or two.
The lake is a favored spot for rainbow trout but it also holds the state record for walleye and striped bass.
The Sugar Loaf National Nature Trail can only be reached by taking a boat to the mountain. The trail is a moderate 1.6 miles and the mountaintop view is spectacular. For more details on the trail, read our full article right here.
