A Breathtaking Shoreline

Baxter Lake is a serene, wooded lake with a surface area of 302 acres and an average depth of seven feet. The untouched, eastern portion of the four-mile shoreline has a breathtaking view that the lake residents and visitors appreciate.

The waters are great for swimming, boating, water skiing, canoeing, or kayaking. Sailboating is also accessible on Lake Baxter, where the breeze is always just right. A public access point is on the southern portion.

On a lake where swimming is so popular, some lake goers are lucky enough to have their private beach or be part of a community that has one. When the lake freezes over the winter, snowmobiling, ice fishing, snow skiing, and ice skating are available.

Baxter Lake is an exceptional fishing destination for champion-class largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, and bullhead. Due to the lake's great-sized bass, it hosts a selection of bass angling tournaments.
