About the host

Why they chose this property
Joslin lake is a nearly 200acre spring fed all-sports public access lake. It is off the beaten track and therefore tends to have much less boat traffic than neighboring lakes. But that makes it great for fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddle-boating.
Joslin lake is great for fishing with Bass, Bluegills, Redears, Pike and Catfish
Joslin lake is a shallow lake with a sandy bottom near our shore. The depth is about 3 feet at 200 feet from shore making it fun and safe for children to play in the water. There are some deep holes in the middle of the lake where the depth goes to about 25 feet. The Western and Southern shores are sparsely populated due to the natural marshland of the area. These areas tend to grow more weeds that can bind up propellers but are great for kayaking and canoeing.
