This place Is nice to go for a swim in the spring or summer but you need to get there pretty early for a good parking spot, otherwise you have a long walk on the hot pavement, same with on the beach itself, it is pretty hard to get a good spot. But you can find some pretty cool things on the bottom of the lake.

Larger lake and plenty of parking available. There are outside biffy type places to go to the bathroom at the boat launch. There are no places to pull up or eat along the lake. Not much of a recreational lake. The Viking ship is fun to see if it's out when you are on the lake.

Great place to hang out for the weekend. Lake is pretty shallow so the temp is great for swimming or any other water activity.

This expansive body of water offers a welcoming retreat particularly inviting in the warm embrace of spring and summer, becoming a favorite among locals and visitors alike for a cool swim. One might warn though—arriving early is key to securing prime parking and an ideal spot at the water’s edge, as the place tends to fill up rapidly with fellow sun and sand seekers. Yet, persistence rewards the early risers with the quiet peace of an empty lakeshore. The hot summer days make the shallow points of Coon Lake a warm haven for swimmers of all ages. The sandy bottom invites playful exploration, with the occasional discovery of hidden treasures left behind by days gone by. For the recreational angler, Coon Lake does not disappoint with its good population of northern pike, awaiting the thrill of a catch. Despite a lack of dining options around the lake, bringing a picnic is part of the charm. The journey might be capped by a sighting of the Viking ship afloat on the waters, a nice historical nod that adds to the lake’s unique character. Though more of a swimming and leisurely outing spot than a busy recreational hub, Coon Lake calls for visitors to slow down, enjoy, and soak in the simple pleasures it has to offer. Boosted by its ease of access and ample parking, this lake’s natural warmth and tranquility provide a sweet little getaway tucked amidst the daily hustle and bustle of life.
