               folks. Thunderbird Lake is perfect enough to spend more than a day at, Pistakee Fishing Club is a perfect local campground, and a round of golf at nearby Prairie Isle Golf Club is a tremendous way to kill some time. This lake is so wonderful. A lovely lake like Lake Killarney right next door to Thunderbird Lake is a perfect place to visit; a day on the slopes of Wilmot mountain is just what you need.
This lake is so wonderful. If you're visiting Thunderbird Lake from Whitewater, you won't be the only one, and if you're here you can take a hike along the Leather Leaf Bog Trail.
