Now let’s bring things down a notch. Imagine yourself on the beach of a sparkling lake, soaking in the sun, the birds singing their soft melodies, and the waves crashing on the shore. Now you are in a fishing boat. The early morning light paints a beautiful picture of pinks, oranges, reds, and yellows. Now you’re diving in, searching for lost treasures. Perhaps you will discover a pirate ship wreck? Or maybe you will discover a treasure chest? Ottawa Lake is the perfect opportunity to unearth the nautical side you may have never known existed. Part of the Kettle Moraine area, visitors to Ottawa Lake can hit the beaches for some casual swimming, hop in a boat and tour the waters, drop their lures and land a big catch, or just enjoy the lake from the shores. The possibilities are endless.

Why bother spending thousands of dollars when there is a whole other world right in your backyard? You can do all the things that the exotic resorts offer for less than a fraction of the price. The world is within your grasp. Seize it.
