RUNNERS/MOUNTAIN BIKERS:

Head out the door, down the peaceful lake road, and explore the nearby trails via the Gravel Pit Road trailhead/CAMBA MTN BIKE trail (.5 miles away) which leads to over 300 miles of mountain bike, ATV, and running trails.

FISHING INFO:

The navigable channel at the end of McClain Lake takes you to Upper Twin Lake, which is classified as class A musky waters, and is abundant with Musky, Perch, and Bluegill. Or fish right from our new dock for bass and panfish!

SWIMMING INFO:

While McClain is a great lake for fishing, it's mucky bottom isn't always ideal to those wishing to swim. Because of this, we provide a lily pad for our guests to attach to the end of the dock to enjoy swimming off of/on. Swimming is also great off a pontoon or from an island the next lake over.

BOATING INFO:

The nearest public boat landing is 4 minutes away by car. You are more than welcome to bring your own boat, but please keep in mind that McClain is a no wake lake. For full rec fun, the next lake over (Upper Twin) allows wakes between 11am-5pm every day and is accessible through the navigable channel at the top of McClain. Black Iron Grill is accessible via the lake for a delicious meal right from the boat! For pontoon rentals, we recommend Hayward Power Sports which is 4 minutes away. After your booking, we will email you a discount code for 10% off the rental.

ATV/UTV/SNOWMOBILERS: All town roads are ATV routes unless otherwise marked, however we do ask all guests to drive slowly on our road as many neighbors walk daily. The trailhead can be found at the end of our road. There is room for parking up to 2 trailers at the property, and maneuvering can be done with the use of our round-about.

PARKING/DRIVEWAY: In the summer months, we have parking for 6+ cars. In the winter, we have room for 5. There is one dedicated spot for the EV charger that is shared with the cottage next door. Please note that our driveway is quite steep and difficult to navigate in winter months, we HIGHLY recommend 4WD. Fortunately our property shares a round-a-bout with the next door neighbor and guests are able to use the neighbor's drive as it is a bit easier to navigate.

*Please note that this listing is for the Lake House ONLY and is part of the Acorn Shores resort, with some amenities being shared. Shared amenities include the EV charger, parking, canoe and the Lily Pad. The lake house has a private dock, grill, firepit, 2 kayaks and SUP.
