Visitors to Island Lake love the easy living style and great fishing it has to offer.

According to one Island Lake native, an ideal activity is fishing off the end of the dock at dawn and at sunset hours. At Island Lake, smallmouth bass has taken a good hold and are they most fun to catch. Walleyes are the best for the table, along with the perch which are also good sized. Beyond the lake there are two bar/restaurants within minutes. For wintertime fun, there are snowmobile trails galore. For a little more hustle and bustle, the city of Duluth is only 18 miles away. There are many cultural opportunities in the city where you can explore your mind, body, and soul.
