I've stayed at Lake Forest many times. Even though this is a timeshare, you can call the office to check if anyone is renting out their week which often happens. The resort is located ON the water and has a huge amount of land with water frontage. More dock than most places including a set of docks in a sheltered bay. Docks for large boats and small boats and they have their own launch ramp.
If you like boating (or fishing) this is the place. This chain of lakes is the "Largest Inland Freshwater Chain of Lakes in the WORLD" Instead of just traveling round and round and round one lake as most are---this will be a 4 or 5 hour one way adventure through 26 large and medium size lakes with constantly changing scenery. There are Turtles and Bald Eagles here. This is where the big Musky tournaments are held as well.
Boating from Sports Bar to sports bar or Supper clubs, restaurants, gas stations, marinas on every 3rd lake or so makes this chain of lakes the ULTIMATE boaters paradise.
Lake Forest resort itself is my favorite place to stay. Two comfortable bedrooms, and a sofa-bed makes sleeping 6 easy. Full kitchen and in the clubhouse they have a monster size heated pool and hot tub as well as a sauna. You will...
Read moreWas kind of a late decision to take a family trip to get away since our original plans in spring fell through to Washington DC. I came across Lake Forest while searching and decided this was the place to stay. If you arrive after hours, don't worry they have everything ready for you which is super convenient. The full kitchen and two baths are really nice to have. Plenty of activites to keep busy, basketball, tennis courts, pickle ball, playground for the kids, beach, kayak and paddle board rentals which are very affordable. Very scenic and quiet environment. We had no issues at all when we were there. Definitely thinking about coming back for a return trip next year anyway. The only suggestion I have is to put some lights on the end of the docks for those coming in when it's dark,...
Read moreA perfect Northwoods get-away! As a family, we have been coming here for 25 years, three generations. Collectively, we own 3 units for the same week(s). Once again this year, we had a fantastic experience. In addition to hiking, campfires, and golfing, we also really enjoy biking on the local roads, which have new asphalt for many miles, and biking on the Anvil trails in the National Forest, which is only 7 miles east on Hwy 70. The Lake Forest Resort property is gorgeous, the units are very well maintained, the staff is exceptional. Being close to everything that Eagle River has to offer is a very nice feature too. This year, we rented a 24' pontoon boat from Boat Sports Marina and it worked out great - very close and convenient. We can't wait until...
