However, during the first week of September the town begins a slight draw down of the lake to ensure desirable water quality. This draw down may impact your ability to use the lake. You can still swim, but you cannot use a motor boat after draw down begins. The reason for this is because the water at the boat launch is not deep enough to launch or retrieve your boat. There is a private dock with steps leading to the water on this property for our renters to access the lake and enjoy swimming and fishing. ITS snowmobile/ ATV trail is just .5 mile from the house. The cottage has parking for 1 car at the cottage, and room for additional parking of 1 car and 1 snowmobile trailer in a driveway across the street from cottage.
