Big Sand Lake Clubis not only a place, but also about people. It is about friendships and a special place where your family can gather year after year – literally for generations. On the shore of Big Sand Lake in the beautiful north woods of Wisconsin at the border of the Nicolet and Ottawa National Forests, the Club is situated in one of the most pristine and private environments imaginable. Eagles nests on Club property, fish abound in the lake and trails wind their way through untouched woodlands. This truly is a place to relax, to reconnect with yourself and to enjoy time with friends and your family.
Founded in 1891as the Eagle River Fishing and Shooting Club, Big Sand Lake Club has evolved over more than a century to a family centered club with approximately 135 members. Original buildings on Club property were remnants of a logging camp. Eventually additional cabins and a clubhouse were built. The original Clubhouse, affectionately known as “the Flop”, was destroyed by fire in 1924. In 1926, the current clubhouse or “Lodge” was completed. Some 15,000 square feet, it was at the time, the largest all log structure in the United States. Today, it remains the center of Club activities. The Lodge consists of 23 guest rooms, women’s and men’s card rooms, a billiard room and a dining room where breakfast and dinner are served six days per week.
