All types of watercraft are allowed on Lake Blackstrap. The lake is home to the Blackstrap Sailing Club which hosts many regattas throughout the year, welcomes new members, including novices who want to learn how to sail.
Water Sports
When the wind is blowing you will see sailboats, windsurfers, and kiteboarders galore. In the calm of a hot summer day, it’s time for wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing! Then there are those glorious days, when you would think there is nobody else is on the lake (and you might be right).
Fishing
Excellent for fishing, the lake is full of northern pike, perch, whitefish, and pickerel. Enjoy fishing from your boat in the summer, or ice fishing in the warmth of your hut in the winter. For the sport fisherman, fishing derbies provide an extra challenge.
