Monroe Lake is 10,750-acre reservoir located southeast of Bloomington and is surrounded by nearly 24,000 acres of protected forests and wilderness areas. Spread over the two counties of Monroe and Brown, the lake provides local residents with beautiful and natural recreational areas in which to enjoy the great outdoors.

Ransburg Scout Reservation is located on the eastern shore along with the Fourwinds Resort and Marina, which is home to over 800 boats. Visitors can enjoy year-round fishing on the lake, as well as other recreational activities such as boating, water-skiing, and kayaking. Expert interpretive naturalists present an array of programs at the visitor’s center during the summer season.
