My family and I usually swim at Canoe beach when we go visit my inlaws in Canoe and my husband and I take walks there year round since my mother in law lives just down from the lake. I can't really say much about hotels since I've only stayed in a motel off of Highway 1, but the scenery is... More

This is such a beautiful Lake and the little towns around it are adorable. Very busy in summer people have places they have been going for years, so if you want to stay book a place early.
