On the Water
Swim & paddle
Warm, sheltered shallows for swimming, plus paddleboards and canoes for exploring the coves around the island.
More Than Fishing
A whole island of things to do.
Even the folks who don't fish never run out of ways to fill a day out here.
Island Life
Slow mornings, big days, quiet nights.
King Island is the kind of place kids remember for the rest of their lives — swimming off the rocks, exploring the shoreline, roasting marshmallows while the loons call. There's no cell tower pulling anyone's eyes down, just the lake and each other.
Pack a swimsuit, a deck of cards and a sense of adventure. The island takes care of the rest.
Explore
Beaches & hikes
Sandy shorelines to comb, granite outcrops to scramble, and quiet trails through the pines. Bring the dog — they'll love it too.
Gather
Campfires & the lodge
Shore lunches, evening fires, and the old log lodge for card games and telling everyone about the one that got away.
Wild Neighbours
You're sharing the bay with some good company.
Lake of the Woods is alive. Keep the binoculars handy.
Bald eagles
Resident eagles patrol the shoreline daily — you'll often watch one dive for a fish from the dock.
Loons at dusk
The call of the loon across still evening water is the sound everyone remembers most.
Ducks, deer & more
Ducklings in the reeds, deer on the shoreline, hummingbirds at the feeders — small wonders all season long.
Your Island Week
Come make some memories.
Whether you're chasing muskie or just chasing your kids around the island, there's a cottage here with your name on it.
