North Twin and South Twin Lakes

 

It’s a big lake that claims two towns on its shores, Conover and Phelps. North Twin Lake boasts 2,788 acres and is 60’ at its deepest point. It is classified as a drainage lake and the average depth is 28 feet.

 

Anglers can expect to find Large and Smallmouth Bass as well as Muskie, Walleye, and Bluegills. There are two public boat launches. On the northwest shore, there is a boat launch on Lakota Road in Conover. There are two paved lanes for the launch ramps. The parking features space for 11 to 15 vehicles and for six to ten vehicles with trailers.

 

In Phelps, head to the opposite shore on Millerville Road on the southeast shore. Here the launch features a single paved ramp and has 20-25 stalls for parking vehicles with trailers. Neither launch has a fish cleaning station.

 

For great resorts on this beautiful lake, select from North Twin Lake View Resort, Twin Pines Resort, Darton’s Twin Pine Resort, Lakeview Motel/Lodge, and the Great Escape Bar and Resort. Another stop for food & drink is Dublin Sports Bar & Grill. Off the lake but nearby are the Northern Exposure Bar and Restaurant and Twin Lake Pub. 

 

There are also private rentals available with information available on both the Conover and Phelps Chamber of Commerce websites.

 

This lake supports four seasons of recreation and is a perfect vacation destination or a site for year-round residency. Serene and unspoiled, this area is the epitome of Northwoods living.
