Sandy Pines Resort is set on the shores of Big Portage Lake and boasts a selection of exciting activities to keep the children happy and active all day long. Although there is an emphasis on fishing activities, there is also a nice sandy beach and plenty of water activities to enjoy, including the (free) use of canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats.

The resort provides additional children’s activities at least three times a week. Cabin sizes vary from two to five bedrooms and all of them have fully equipped kitchens and an outdoor picnic table. You can enjoy lake views as you prepare the catch of the day on your gas or charcoal Weber grill.
