There are currently about 800 cabins located on the lake, some of which are winterized and occupied year-round. Some of these cabins have permanent boat houses, but a bylaw has been issued that no more boat houses are to be built. Some cabin-owners are getting around this by rigging up temporary coveralls.

The lake hosts a regional park with over 300 camp sites, a 9-hole golf course and a restaurant.[2] It is a long, narrow body of water situated in aspen parkland and home to several species of fish including Northern Pike, Walleye, and Perch.[3] While not a deep lake, it still suffices for some watersports.

In general, the bottom of the lake is muddy, shallow and covered in seaweed, but there are a few areas where a deep, rocky bottom is found.
