ReviewsAccommodationsOn-Site ActivitiesLake & Fishing InfoFacilitiesArea AttractionsContact Info & Map 
Lake Edward is over 2000 acres in size; approx. 2 miles N to S and 1 mile E to W, with 100 % sand shore. The average depth is 15 feet, with a lot of structure, and a 75 foot hole. It is well known for its fishing, but is also large enough for water skiing, “responsible” jet skiing, and much quieter than your experience would be on a chain of lakes. Annually Lake Edward is stocked with walleye fry, and is also home to northern pike, large and smallmouth bass, sunfish, and crappies. You may also find the occasional perch and maybe a dogfish or even a bullhead. A day of fishing can be pretty interesting! Lake Edward has very clear water; you can often see fish swimming below you. This is especially helpful when sunfish are what you are looking for!
