Another 2-in-1 location, the Snake Lakes are located due west of Minden in a very remote setting. While area lakes boast diverse angling opportunities, none are better than those for small and largemouth bass. North Snake is a small, narrow lake which supports a healthy population of both bass species, and while primarily a 'numbers' lake, guests typically pull out at least a few 4 pounders during their stay. The lake is named for its shape - long, narrow and protected in almost any weather.
The new Snake Lake cabin opened in 2002, and features bunk beds for 6 in two bedrooms, a large screened-in porch, and 16 x 20 living and kitchen space. The cabin is fully insulated to stay cool in the summer and cozy in the fall (with help from the woodstove). Three aluminum boats with motors are on site, plus a new gas BBQ and 30” stove with oven. You can cook your catch anyway you like!
North Snake Lake joins South Snake Lake via a winding but navigable channel through reeds and blows downs. Many guests find fishing success in this channel and the near end of this southern lake. More recently, guests have had success on the small lakes that join the north end of North Snake Lake. In order to explore this rarely visited area, our most adventurous guests can portage the aluminum canoe from the main lake to the northern back lakes.
