Sandy Beach on beautiful Torch Lake, one of the largest lakes in the state, it is spring fed, so the water is crystal clear and a bit chilly but gorgeous to see. It is ideal for fishing and boating as well.

Runs just to the north of our property and empties out into Benway Lake. Benway Lake is a great spot for fishing, scenery and wildlife. You can also access several of the upper and lower lakes within the Chain O' Lakes from Benway Lake via the connecting canals.

A great place to spend the day! It's about an hours drive and then a relatively short ferry ride to the island. There is a touristy area with fun shops, carriage rides, bike trails, wonderful scenery and NO Motor Vehicles in sight (they aren't allowed on the island!)
