This balance of off-the-beaten-path privacy with nearby amenities is what makes Big Wolf one of the most coveted addresses in the region.

With no motorboat traffic from the public, Big Wolf Lake is perfect for paddling, fishing, swimming, and quiet exploration. Residents enjoy clear, deep waters ideal for trout fishing and non-motorized boating. In fall, the surrounding forest explodes in color, offering brilliant views from every deck or dock. Winter brings a peaceful hush to the lake, with opportunities for snowshoeing, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing right from your backdoor. It’s a four-season paradise designed for those who truly love the outdoors.
