My in-laws have been coming here for over thirty years. I've joined for the last nine trips. Andre and her family have created a beautiful, tranquil haven complete with row boats, small motor boats, kayaks, canoes, lawn games, volleyball, and plenty of other activities. Only a couple miles outside of Minocqua itself, it's a five mile walk from the grounds to Minocqua - a beautiful hike on the bike trail.
