The famous Paul Bunyan Bike trail is 2 blocks away and the public access to Pine Mountain lake is north 2 blocks on Washburn Ave. Great restaurant in town on main street features burgers and more! Bait shop and restaurant on HWY 371 only a minute or 2 away at the Corner Store. Pine Mountain Lake features very good fishing and you can also enjoy all your water recreation. There is a dock provided on this property you may tie up if you wish. Please watch the weather. It is shallow for a ways out but it does stay about 1.5 to 2 feet deep depending on lake levels, so most boats and pontoons can navigate. The shoreline is a semi loam softer bottom with some weeds. Fire ring is down by the lake with 2 lawn chairs. Please bring your own firewood, you are welcome to any firewood left on the property. Propane grill is on the back deck and ready for your use.
