Lake Cochituate

Lake Cochituate is the closest large body of water for more freshwater activities!

Boating and kayaking are the main attractions here, as the three ponds that make Lake Cochituate offer something different.

South Lake is the place for those that love water skiing. Middle and North Lake are the best for kayaking, canoeing, or slow boating.

All three lakes are great for casting a line out. Anglers should expect to catch bass, crappie, sunfish, pike, trout, and muskie.

A beach is available on the North Lake. This small strip of sand is a great place to relax on a sunny day, put in a car-top boat, or cast a line on the fishing pier.
