Lake Elizabeth spans roughly 579 acres, characterized by clear waters and gently sloping shores that invite families, friends, and solo adventurers alike. The lake’s landscape features several cozy coves and pockets sheltered by deciduous and mixed hardwood forests, creating quiet spots to relax or cast a fishing line. The flora includes native wild rice beds and cattails, contributing to the lake’s ecosystem richness and supporting local wildlife such as bald eagles and great blue herons.

Standout choices like the Tiki Barge XL provide a unique social watercraft ideal for parties and family gatherings, while waverunner and pontoon rentals meet the needs of thrill-seekers and those wanting a leisurely cruise. Multi-day rentals offer flexibility to really dig into the lake’s perimeter and hotspots.
