On the property
The whole place points at the water
1,900 ft of north shore, a heated pool, two miles of mowed trail, and a rec hall that doubles as the wet-weather plan.
The water
The lake
1,900 ft of north shore
Hollis Lake
A sand beach, two docks and a paved landing, all within the property. The swim area is roped and buoyed off the main beach, sand bottom, gradual to about 5 ft. No lifeguard — children under 12 need an adult at the water.
Marina slips, a kayak launch and a boat ramp. The shoreline is all lake; there are no ponds.
Licence sold at the store
Fishing
Walleye, northern pike, smallmouth and panfish. A Minnesota licence is required and we sell them. The cleaning station with running water is by the boat landing.
North Shore Outfitters in the village runs guided walleye trips. More on the area.
