Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Rush Lake is a gourd-shaped lake covering more than 5,300 acres in the central region of the state. The shoreline has mostly been developed, with private homes and businesses occupying the vast majority of the land surrounding the lake. However, there are three access points that are open to the public. Fishing is a huge attraction here, but visitors also come to swim, sail, participate in water sports, and relax on the soft sandy beaches. For visitors looking for overnight accommodations, there are a range of options, including resorts, vacation homes, rental cabins, and camping. Nearby areas offer hiking trails, wildlife viewing opportunities, horseback riding, and many other activities for visitors and locals to enjoy.
