We sit in a protected 80 acre bay of Sand Lake

Sand Lake is a naturally fed 4,300 acre lake with a maximum depth of 70 feet.  The lake is connected to several other area lakes via the Bowstring River. 

Anglers enjoy the tremendous multi-species fishing available here.  The lake boasts an abundant supply of walleye, northern, bass, jumbo perch, crappie and panfish. 

From Sand Lake there is direct access to Little Sand Lake, the Bowstring River, Rice Lake, Dora Lake and the Bigfork River, Birds' Eye Lake, and Portage Lake.

Lakewood Lodge is located on a quiet 80 acre bay on the southern side of the lake.
