You might also look into Paulina lake or South Twin lake. I ve spent a lot of time at both. Have had many wonderful and relaxing times at both. Always enjoyable. Love the cabins.

Takes 45-60 min. You can also rent row boats by the Hr. or for the whole day. Paulina lake is for motor boats. I really loved the wood burning stoves, when it was chilly. Check it out!
