Lake Michigamme is a beautiful lake with 95 miles of shoreline, 27 islands and over 4,300 acres of water. With depths down to 70 feet it also holds a wide variety of game fish--walleye, pike, bass, muskie, trout and whitefish to name a few.  A few jet skis cruise the water on summer weekends, otherwise the Lake is populated with canoeists, kayakers, pontoon boats and fishermen.

The Peshekee River is steps away, and offers a beautiful setting for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
