Bass, trout, and bluegills are abundant. The boat must be signed up for but there is plenty of space to fish from the dock. There is a boat launch right next to the dock if you care to use your boat, with plenty of parking. Paddlers have a place to store their canoe too. There is access to a public beach just a stone's throw away.
Members seem to socialize at the cottage year round.
Ice fishing is becoming very popular. Opening Day starts very early with various activities. All season long there are work parties and pot luck dinners. Sign out on calendar at Crystal Lake Cottage 2. Sign out for only one period a day, unless the boat is not reserved for 2nd periods.
