Anglers enjoy walleye, large and smallmouth bass, northern pike, perch, crappie, bluegill and muskellunge. The average max depth of the Chippewa Flowage is around 30' but just outside Dream Big Bay is Moonshine Lake that is 90' deep. We recommend checking out Chippewa Flowage (dot com) under the Fishing Report section for up-to-date fishing report.

Boating/Tubing/Skiing: Come summer and late fall, on the water is where you'll want to be for all day water fun! The Chippewa Flowage, is 15,300-acres with about 200 undeveloped islands. One of our favorite things to do is boat out and find the "perfect" sandy beach island and set up camp for the day. While some enjoy beach fun, others are out tubing and skiing for hours!

Nearby Resorts, Restaurants: By boat OR by land, there are several resorts and restaurants nearby. R&R Bayview is our favorite breakfast spot. Treeland Resort is one of our kids favorites to boat over for pizza and ice cream. And before you head out for a late day or evening cruise, stop over The Landing for their bountiful bloody mary (or beverage of choice).

Explore Hayward: Hayward Wisconsin is a scenic 25-minute drive from Dream Big Bay. Hayward is home to the American Birkebeiner Trail, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame (home of the world-record muskellunge - 69-pound, 11-ounce), Lumberjack Show, Wilderness Walk Zoo and Hayward is dubbed the Golf Capital of Wisconsin with nine courses.

Downtown Hayward is filled with shops, dinning, coffee shops and more! Enjoy a day in town and while you are there, a be sure to check out: Backroads Coffee, Firehouse Bakery and Deli, Coop’s Pizza, Treemblay’s Sweet Shop (your kids will LOVE Treemblay’s) or Hayward Mercantile Company.
