Marina, Boating & Fishing
Fishing on Rice Lake
Rice Lake is well known to anglers from all over for its outstanding fishing.
The kids will love shore fishing and are bound to have a blast catching sunfish, perch or even a bass! More experienced anglers can set their sites on the abundant muskie and walleye proliferating the lake. Don’t have your own boat? Rent one of ours!
Whatever your level experience, fishing on Rice Lake is always exciting!
A variety of boat and motor rentals are available to suit all individual and family needs. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman, a beginner, or just want to get out with the family on the water, we have many options for you to choose from. We are happy to take reservations from both resort guests and local visitors looking to enjoy a day on the lake. Guests of Golden Beach can enjoy complimentary use of a selection of non-motorized watercraft including canoes, kayaks and paddleboats!
