Location and Attractions

When you stay at the Stony Point Lake House, you'll enjoy all the outdoor activities the north woods offers, including boating, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, and snow and water skiing. Lake Shishebogama is one of the Lakeland area's most coveted lakes, with limited public access to over 700 acres of class A fishing waters containing abundant crappie, walleye, bass, pan fish and pike. Adjoining Gunlock Lake contains over 400 acres of the area's best musky waters. In the summer, you'll leave the hustle and bustle of the Minocqua chain behind and enjoy all the peace and serenely of Lake Shishebogama, where jet skis and water skiing are not allowed after 8 PM. 

 

Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest and the many recreation opportunities it affords. Bicyclists will enjoy access to many local road and trail options, including miles of scenic paved roads with little traffic and many logging roads on public properties.

Hunters will enjoy access to literally thousands of acres of prime grouse and deer hunting land within minutes of the house, including the Chequamegon National Forest, State Owned Lands, and thousands of acres of paper company lands and other private properties managed for public access through state managed forest programs.
