On the Water Fun

Flowage Lake is a part of a chain of rivers and bays that flow into Big Sandy Lake. The chain roughly covers 16 square miles or 10,240 square acres in total.

Although the fishing reports indicate that there are little to no fish on the lake, that isn’t a problem! This chain of lakes allows an infinite amount of spots for great fishing. Big Sandy, about four miles upriver, boasts over 30 species with the most common being walleye, northern pike, and black crappie, among others.

Boating is very popular in this area for riding and fishing, as there are multiple ramps and docks to launch from on the chain. Kayaking and canoeing would be fun as well, as there are miles of different bodies of water to explore.

Less than two hours away from McGregor is the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior. So, if you like water sports, shipwrecks, gorgeous parks, historic lighthouses, and much more, this is the place to be!
