Big Canoe ^® Lakes, Marinas, Boating, and Fishing

Why not get out of that routine and do something different? Come down to the marina, rent a pontoon boat and explore our beautiful Lake Petit. The Canadian geese inhabit our island in the lake and Mother Nature is awakening in the coves. Come spend a day admiring the lakefront homes, while basking in the sun cruising Lake Petit. Or pack a picnic and tie your boat at Eagle Island and watch the deer swim ashore.
