It is a very secluded and picturesque lake camp at and the fishing was good just a few places from where we slept. Would have gave five stars but the mosquitos made being outside of our camper almost completely unbearable
Nice lake to take our kayaks to while camping at gogebic state campground. Lots of bluegill, crappies and bass. Had the best luck trolling ot drifting.
