Things to Do  

Whether people are visiting or purchased real estate in the Walker, Hackensack, Longville area, there is something for everyone to do in the Leech Lake, Ten Mile Lake, Woman Lake, and Kabekona Lake area.

Fishing a really clear lake has its challenges, but anglers can make necessary adjustments.  Walleyes, Yellow Perch, Tullibee, and Whitefish do well in the cold, oxygenated water of Kabekona Lake.  The DNR has more information about Kabekona Lake’s fish species and regulations.    

Kabekona Lake has one public access; it is located on the west side of the lake.  If you plan to launch there, please take the necessary precautions not to spread aquatic invasive species.
