THE LOOKOUT ON LAKE ALEXANDER – YOUR FOUR-SEASON PLAYGROUND
Welcome to The Lookout on Lake Alexander, a true four-season destination—and an exceptionally magical getaway in the winter. When the temperatures drop, the lake transforms into a quiet, snow-covered wonderland surrounded by endless outdoor adventures and cozy indoor comforts.
Whether you're looking for peaceful lake views, top-tier winter recreation, or a relaxing getaway with family and friends, The Lookout delivers all season long.
A WINTER DESTINATION LIKE NO OTHER
Once the snow falls, the Lincoln Lakes Area becomes a private retreat filled with winter fun. With over 7,600 acres of water and endless forest land, it's a paradise for snowmobilers, skiers, anglers, and anyone who wants to escape into nature.
Outdoor Winter Adventures
-1,000+ miles of state snowmobile trails — ride for days without repeating a routet-Ice fishing heaven — villages "small Towns" of fish houses appear across Lake Alexander
- Angling for northern, walleye, crappie, and sunfish
- Rent a fish house from us or bring your own
- Private on-site ice skating rink (bring your own Skates)
- Maybe Snowshoe through quiet winter landscapes (bring your own)
- Cross-country skiing for all levels nearby
- Downhill skiing & snow tubing just 25 miles away
- Don’t miss the annual Ice Golf Tournament in February on the north end of the lake
COZY INDOOR COMFORTS
After a day of snowy adventure, head indoors and unwind:
- Inviting recreation room - Pool Table, Foosball, Games, TV
- Cozy downstairs bar & lounge, game table & family-friendly games
- Smart TVs for movie nights
- Open-concept kitchen with elegant gold accents — perfect for cooking & gathering
- Lake-view soaking tub — the dreamiest place to warm up and relax
