     After a long day outdoors Americinn - Minocqua, Wi is a great site to spend a night or two, and the Alligator Eye Trail is a delightful hiking trail nearby. A normal amount of rain falls here at Big Lake; the wettest month of the year is frequently August, that's the one that rains the most, and the driest month is February. Comfort Inn Minocqua is a fine location to get some rest. This place, Big Lake, it simply has so much outdoors entertaining stuff. Everybody  
   close by loves skiing at Indianhead, and camping is available at Birch Lake Resort and Campground.
Throughout the summer at Big Lake highs are generally in the 70's with overnight lows in the 50's. Through the wintertime highs are mostly in the 10's, and throughout the dark hours in the wintertime at Big Lake temperatures dip to the-10's. This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Planter Creek is so much fun, and Rice Creek is close to Big Lake and is always
 
               a diversion to check out. Why not camp at Presque Isle Campground if you're here at Big Lake, and lakes are such calm places, why not take a look at Keego Lake.
Presque Isle has a great whitewater paddling spot close by, and you'll stumble on a lovely lake called Red Lake.

Armour Lake
My aunt and uncle, Della and Deac Vilutis, owned the resort in the 50's and early 60's. I have many memories if my dad and I fishing on all those lakes. It was truly a beautiful area to grow up in....The lake is spring fed and is connected to Horsehead lake via river and also to North Crab lake and Crab lake. Walleye, large mouth bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike and sunfish are native to this lake. The lake is 355 acres which host Bill's Island, a public campground that is accessable via boat/canoe. There is one state owned access to this lake on the north side. Many years ago, Armour Lake Resort had been built by my great, great uncle and then owned in the early 40's by my parents who are now both deceased. The resort has since been purchased as a private residence. As a child growing up we have some wonderful memories about this beautiful, spring fed lake. I miss it....
