What's At Crawford's?
| Cottages: |
All
of our vacation cottages are fully modern and located on the
lakeshore except one. Usually two cottages share a dock
and there are some cottages that have their own dock.
No long walks back and forth to the main dock! They are
all fully modern with kitchens equipped with electric or propane
stoves with ovens, dishes, coffee makers, toasters, eating and
cooking utensils. The cottages are equipped with bedding
and clean towels are available DAILY. The cottages are
heated by either electric or propane, and the winterized cottages
have both. Our cottages also have fully screened in porches
facing the lake. We have kept one "outhouse"
in camp to remind us of the days before running water, but all
the of the cottages have showers or tub/shower combinations.
Two of the cottages have wheelchair access.

| Lodge: |
The
main room of the lodge was built over 60 years ago, and is still
being used. At the lodge you will find both fishing and
hunting licenses, tackle, ice, pop, candy, chips, post cards,
T-shirts, caps, sandwiches various ice creams, the latest topographical
map of the lake and of course, as much fishing information as
we can give you!
|
| Fish
House: |
To
take care of your fish or game, we have a "fish house"
that is equipped with cleaning tables, wrapping paper, freezer
tape, sinks with running water, walk-in cooler, and freezers.
A
meat rack is available in the walk-in cooler for hunters to
store their game and arrangements can be made to have your
game processed at one of the local processing facilities.
|
| Boats
and Motors: |
We
attempt to keep a variety of boats and motors available for
our guests and update as often as possible. We have
18' Deep V bass boats with an interior configuration like
the bass boats you see on TV, but a deeper hull to make it
safer in the rough water. The 18' is equipped with a
50 hp 4-stroke with power tilt/trim and console steering.
Boats are fully carpeted with a flat floor, have soft swivel
seats, graphs, live wells, rot storages, front casting platforms,
bow mounted Minnkota turboelectric trolling motors, marker
buoys, landing net, minnow bucket and safety gear.
We
also have 16; aluminum fishing boats with 20 and 25 h.p. Yamaha
outboards. There are two types of boats available.
One has the standard aluminum bench seats and round floor
and the second has the flat carpeted floor with pedestal seats.
they both come equipped with paddles, landing net, minnow
bucket, seat cushions and safety gear. You are
also welcome to bring your own boat. There is a dockage
charge for each boat that you bring. For variety we
have paddle boats, canoes and ski/knee board equipment available
here at camp.

| Guide
Service: |
Our
guide boats are 19' long with complete convertible tops, walk
thru windshield, bow casting platform, comfortable swivel
seats, graphs, all safety gear, power by a 150 h.p. outboard,
with 9.9 outboard for a rear trolling motor and a Minnkota
electric motor on the bow. Our guides are "home
grown" and if I won't go fishing with on of them, I won't
send my guests with them either. A real guide is a teacher,
and is there to teach you how, where, and when. Some
of our guests use the guide service for a day or two while
they are here to learn new areas and then spend the rest of
their vacation fishing on their own. some of our new
guests use it to get familiar with the area, local fishing
techniques and local hot spots!
The
highlight of the day is the "fish fry shore lunch."
The guide will pull into one of the islands, build a fire,
fry up some fish, potatoes, vegetables, coffee, and a little
dessert. One of these meals and your hooked for life!
Be sure to bring a camera!

| Main
Dock: |
The
main dock is located just below the lodge. We have unleaded
gas and TWC III Outboard Oil available.
Live
bait is available and we have managed to keep our prices well
below our competitors. While they are in season we keep
a supply of night crawlers and leeches on hand. Purchases
at the dock are billed direct to your cabin. |
| Playground
and Beach: |
For
the younger kids there is a new playground set up with swings,
slide, playhouse, and lots of sand. This joins the beach
on the west side of the point. The beach is primarily
for the smaller kids, but at times we all use it.
