Beautiful park and lake. Has swimming beach, playground, picnic tables, benches to sit on, restroom facilities, paved path and boat launch. No lifeguard on duty. The beach is clean. The water was warmer than I expected. The sand is really soft (in less rocky areas of beach). Bring a chair or blanket to sit on. Have fun!

Great fishing! Got a 19" Bass which unfortunately was under the regulated size so he went back. Pan fish... Crappies and Sun fish are great size. Even got a decent Walleye. No fancy lures needed....minnow, leach, nightcrawler. Best biting between dusk and dark. Bite seems to turn off about an hour after dark.
About Turtle Lake
Nestled amid lush landscapes, Turtle Lake is an idyllic haven for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. With its pristine waters and well-maintained recreational amenities, Turtle Lake offers an ideal setting for a day of relaxation or adventure. Visitors can bask in the sun on the soft sands of the swimming beach, perfect for families with kids ready to splash in the warm waters. The surrounding park is equipped with picnic tables, a playground, benches, and restroom facilities, ensuring all you need for a comfortable outing. For those with a love for the water, Turtle Lake is a popular spot for boating. Its accessible boat launch is in top condition, though it's recommended that newer boaters practice their skills during off-peak hours, as weekends can be bustling with activity. Fishing enthusiasts will find joy in casting their lines during the quieter weekdays, with opportunities to catch various fish like bass, crappies, sunfish, and the occasional walleye – just be mindful of size regulations. While the lake can get busy, especially during weekends with a flurry of boating and jet-ski activities, it remains a picturesque escape for those with a penchant for aquatic recreation. It's this unique blend of tranquility and excitement that makes Turtle Lake a gem in the heart of nature.
