Learn more about alerts →Walleye and pike anglers get the most from this place, the marina handles boat launches, and the store stocks supplies so you're not driving back to New Town mid-trip. Lake-view sites are large and level, and the bathhouse earns consistent praise for cleanliness.
Without a boat, the lake stays mostly backdrop. Weekend sites fill fast on a first-come basis, so if you can't arrive Thursday or Friday during Memorial Day through Labor Day, count on less-desirable spots, or a long drive for nothing.

Summer brings daytime highs in the mid-70s to mid-80s and nights in the 50s to 60s, the best window for boating, kayaking, swimming, and beach access. The marina, store, and cabins operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Fishing stays productive year-round, though most water activity drops off after September. Weekend stays fill quickly during peak season, so book early or visit midweek for quieter campsites.
Best season: boating, kayaking, swimming and marina/store operate in peak season.
Park offers potable water, a full-service marina with a store and Wi‑Fi at the marina/dock, showers and flush restrooms, a dump station, picnic tables and campfire rings at sites, and generally has cell phone service. Firewood and a marina market are available seasonally.
