Features

Long Lake consists of two distinct sections divided by a channel. In the larger northern section of the lake sits a small island unofficially known as Meltzer Island. Also in the north of the lake sits a small bay known as Ghost Bay due to the treacherous floor and taller trees surrounding the bay limiting sunlight.
The lake is a popular summer fishing and boating destination. Common fish in the lake include northern pike, bluegill, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rainbow trout, and walleye.
