The Waterfront and Surroundings

The cottage faces west for maximum sun and beautiful sunsets. The 200 feet of frontage is level with sandy bottom for excellent swimming. Nestled among the pines and maples, your privacy is secured in this very quiet area. Also on the lakefront are 2 docks and a boat lift. Across the street is the Northern Highland State Forest offering great hiking, hunting, and more fishing on 2 wilderness, hike-in lakes. The road and the lake are snowmobile routes--woods trails within a mile.

Fisher Lake

The lake is 450 acres and part of a 3-lake chain. Fisher is connected to Catherine Lake by a culvert and to Cedar Lake via the Turtle River. All are accessible by small motor boat, or for a great wilderness experience, take the canoe. Catherine and Cedar Lakes are large, quality lakes, with very few houses. Cedar Lake is mostly state owned. Fishing, waterskiing, swimming, sailing, and paddling are superb on Fisher Lake. There are 2 restaurants on the lake within easy boat travel.
