The heavy ice fishing on the lake takes most of the larger keeper fish out of the lake every winter so you don't have much left come summer. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, the picnic areas, the self-guided nature trails, or the groomed ski trails. The camping and tent areas also allow dogs. There is a dog walk area at the campground.
