Cable and the surrounding lakes offer fishing for panfish, bass, walleye, pike, and musky. The St Joseph river is a true fishing destination and just 20 minutes away. Depending on the time of year, renowned steelhead fishing, as well as coho and king salmon, walleye, smallmouth bass, pike, and panfish are available.
We also have platted access to a dedicated boat launch less than 1/4 mile away for all-sport Little Crooked Lake, so bring your boats and water toys and enjoy the best of both worlds! Five additional all-sport lakes lie within a few miles of the property.

From approximately mid-October through end of April, the pier and swim raft are taken out, watercraft and sand toys are removed and stored for the winter, and outdoor furniture cushions are stored.
