Fishing, Boating and Canoeing
Mountain Lake is a lake trout lake and is great for bass fishing in season. Spring fishing is particularly good. Mountain Lake also flows directly into Horseshoe Lake and then into the Gull River at the Minden White Water Preserve. Ogopogo is the only Resort with direct water access to the Preserve. The area is very scenic – great for a canoe-hike combination.
