Big Boulder Lodge

The Big Boulder Lodge Grounds have both high and low viewpoints. The Lodge sits at the junction of the Manitowish River and Boulder lake with both River and Lake frontage for easy access to the water. The turn of the last century property was the first to be settled on this 524 acre lake. Two thirds of Boulder lake is state owned and has been left wild.

From the deck,  both wood and stone steps take the visitor down to the lake passing a large hammock and the Wall Pub. There is ample space for guests to relax under the shade of the tall pine trees.

On the lake and river there are two docks that extend into the water.  The natural fire-pit area has a great view of the massive boulders from which the lodge takes its name. It is rumoured that there is an enormous musky currently living under the big rock.  Many of the lakes biggest fish have been caught just off our pier at this very spot. The largest boulder was once called the "Spirit Rock" by Native Americans who allegedly used this holy ground as an important meeting spot.  The property was said to be a place of "Big Medicine".
