With a maximum depth of 25 feet and a length of almost 9 miles, you will find an endless amount of panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and the coveted Wisconsin musky. There are four boat launches located on the reservoir, one located a four minute drive from the property. There are two snowmobile trails close by, one 3.5 miles away and another 4.5 miles away, all within access from the property by snowmobile (ditch riding required). During the summer, there are hundreds of miles of ATV/UTV trails to explore. Tomahawk is a ATV/UTV friendly town.
There are TONS of lakes to explore. Lake Mohawksin, Nakomis, Alice and the Wisconsin River are all located around Tomahawk and offer excellent fishing and boating opportunities. The historical Hiawatha Trail is a beautiful trail to explore. Timms Hill is the highest overlook in Wisconsin, and is located only 20 minutes away.

An important note - in late fall to early spring, the water depth fluctuates to allow for snow/ice melt in the flowage. The water level fluctuates four to six feet in late fall to early spring, but does not noticeably fluctuate in the warmer months (early April-mid October). Swimming is always safe and there is little to no current. For current water level reports on the Spirit River Flowage, search "Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company", go to the "Reservoirs" tab, and click "Water Level Reports". Use the down-menu to select "Spirit Reservoir".

-The Spirit River Flowage varies in water depth throughout the year. To check current depth, search "WVIC water level reports" and select "Spirit River Reservoir", and adjust the dates to the month your reservation is in. Then click "View Chart".

- Keep in mind when bringing a boat that the Spirit River Flowage fluctuates in water level throughout the year.
