There are ample areas reserved for fishing and nature as well as boating and skiing. There are several lake homes along the shores of Lake Sara. Many are full time residences and many are part-time residences. The homes are somewhat unique for lake property in that many have boathouses at the waters edge that feature full kitchens and baths, and TV and eating areas, as well as swim and sun decks. Such a feature puts you right at the lake versus several hundred feet away at a house up the hill. The lake seldom freezes over in winter. Most owners leave their boats in hoists at their boathouse...eliminating the need for boat storage. The lake covers about 800 acres, with 27 miles of wooded shoreline. It has a maximum depth of about 50 feet. Fishing is popular practically all year round.
