Summary:
Escape to your own piece of the serene Tomahawk Northwoods at the Eagle Waters Lodge! Bring the WHOLE family since we are pet-friendly! Nestled on the tranquil Spirit River Flowage, this stretch of water has almost nine miles of premier fishing, boating, and kayaking (kayaks and canoes included with your stay). Endless family memories are waiting right out the back door! If relaxing is in your itinerary, unwind in the 3400 sqft. lodge in our theater room or our screened-in porch. Enjoy the best of Tomahawk in comfort!
The space:
Since pets are welcome to stay at the lodge, you can enjoy Tomahawk with the ENTIRE family! Cook up legendary feasts in the fully outfitted kitchen, spark up some competition with our selection of board games, or cast a line right off our pier. The lodge has four kayaks and two canoes available for you and your group to explore the miles of shoreline and tributaries the Spirit River Flowage has to offer. Kick back and have family movie night in the theater room or spacious living room by the fireplace. Catch up with friends or family in the screened-in porch leading out to the spacious deck. Grab a stick and roast up s’mores around the fire pit overlooking the water. Sunsets are simply breathtaking down by the pier. Feel free to bring your own boat and dock it at the lodge for easy access to the flowage.
The surrounding area:
The Spirit River Reservoir has an endless amount of shoreline and water to explore via kayak, canoe, or snowmobile. With a maximum depth of 25 feet and a length of almost 9 miles, you will find opportunities at panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and the coveted Wisconsin musky. Very important to keep in mind; the water level on the Spirit River Reservoir fluctuates throughout the year, specifically in preparation for winter and spring! In the summer months, this usually is not an issue for boating/fishing. Always practice safe boating procedures! There are four boat launches located on the reservoir, one located a four minute drive from the property. There are two snowmobile trails close by, one 3.5 miles away and another 4.5 miles away, all within access from the property by snowmobile (ditch riding required).
An important note - in late fall to early spring, the water depth fluctuates to allow for snow/ice melt in the flowage. The water level fluctuates four to six feet in late fall to early spring, but usually does not fluctuate very much in the warmer months (early April-mid October). Swimming is always safe and there is little to no current.
For current water level reports on the Spirit River Flowage, Google "Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company", go to the "Reservoirs" tab, and click "Water Level Reports". Use the down-menu to select "Spirit Reservoir".
