Nearby Lakes

If you're looking for a lake that offers more space and activities, you're in luck, as this lake is only 10 miles from the Whitelake Chain of Lakes!

In total, the 14 lakes cover around 14,000 acres of water and have 119 miles of shoreline. There are many sandy spots around Whitefish where you can swim, sunbathe, or have a picnic. The wooded environment is fantastic for birding, but one can also spot ducks, otters, deer, elk, eagles, or an occasional bear.

On a sunny day, Lower Whitefish Lake sees many pontoons, speed boats, kayaks, canoes, and more. Behind the boats, people enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing.

The Whitefish Chain of Lakes is a prime location for fishing largemouth bass, northern pike, and bluegill, but it houses several other fish species. When Whitefish freezes over, it becomes a hub of ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiling, and other winter activities.

The big island between Upper and Lower Whitefish Lake is a nature area that features mature maples and basswoods. Some come to the island for hiking, while others picnic on the sands.

Activities Off the Water

If you're looking to spend some time on the links, the Crosswoods Golf Course is close. This public course offers 27 holes of golf to play, nestled in scenic Minnesota woods.
