Grave Lake is a private lake with no public boat launch. We have kayaks and a canoe for guest use May - Sept. Swimming is great for kids! The water starts out 10- 12 inches deep (no real beach) and get gradually deeper, it is 3.5 - 4 feet deep at the end of the dock. The bottom is hard sand with rocks and occasional weeds. The water in Grave Lake is tea colored due to tannins in the water. The tannins seep into the water from the roots of the trees around the lake and stain the water. It is safe to swim and boat. The water indoors is treated to remove tannins and iron to prevent damage to laundry.
There is plenty of room to park your boat if you would like to explore nearby lakes. Nokay Lake is just across Hwy 18. Upper South Long and Bay Lake are also near by. Mille Lacs, Gull and Pelican are popular options but a bit of a longer drive.
Home is located one mile from the "18 Run Trail" which allows easy access to many county trails on snowmobiles. There is plenty of room in the driveway and garage to store snowmobiles and trailers when not in use. Check out midweek pricing if your schedule allows in the off season.
The exterior of the property is monitored by three cameras. One monitoring the front entrances of the home (located on the detached garage), one monitoring driveway (located on front of attached garage) and one monitoring the rear entrance to home (located on back of attached garage). All cameras record audio and video.

Summary: This place was great for a family gathering of up to 12 people. Nice kitchen space for everyone to get around in and nice to have 2 full size refrigerators. Everything is so well labeled to find what you need. The bedding was extremely comfortable. Love my bed at home, but this was a 10 for 10 for sleeping. Great bonfire area and nice space to enjoy yard games. Hang out by nice deck and enjoy the great view to lake down the hill to the dock. Small quiet little lake to canoe or kayak on. Fun bonus was the apple trees which we got to enjoy in the September season. Very well equipped if you have little ones as well.
