Otter Lake

Our very own lake is tucked away on the backside of the installation! Otter lake is a great place to soak up the sunshine in our short summer months. Our boat house issues a wide variety of rentals including kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boats, row boats and sail boats! If you have more time to spare, consider staying in one of our cabins or overnight campsites. If you are looking to host a gathering you can rent a pavillion or for larger events our Lodge! Enjoy the scenery and the wildlife that frequents this lake throughout the year.
