Five Island Lake

Beautiful Five Island Lake is the center-piece of Emmetsburg’s summer and winter recreation. Carved from the prairie by the departing glacier, this thousand-acre lake offers excellent summertime fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing, and wildlife viewing opportunities.

The citizens of Emmetsburg have invested over $1.5 million in the dredging and improvement of the lake. The long-term project has resulted in reaching their goal – to improve the water quality and depth. The recreational uses of the lake have increased dramatically.

Kearny State Park is located on its western shore and offers a camp ground, boat dock, swimming, and fishing. Next door to the Park is an excellent public golf course and a restaurant and lounge. Winter offers opportunities for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, ice fishing, hockey, and recreational skating.
