Family Oriented Resort

Fishing for All Ages

Sandy Beach

Nest Lake is approximately 950 acres with a maximum depth of 40 feet. A popular lake for walleye, northern pike small and largemouth bass, black crappie, and bluegills. You can fish from one of our docks, bring your own boat (one dock space available with each cabin), use the boat provided with your cabin (rent one of our motors or bring your own), or rent our 2005 20' pontoon and take the whole family out. We do allow speed boats and jet skis (rental available nearby), however we do expect our guests to use proper water courtesy. Life jackets are required on all watercraft, paddle boats, canoes, and kayaks.
