THE LAKE
Lake Altoona is a 720-acre lake located in Eau Claire County. It has a maximum depth of 25 feet. Visitors can access the lake from public boat landings, and a public beach. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye. The lake's water clarity is low. It's perfect for quiet fishing and relaxed boating.
This is truly a fisherman's paradise. Bring your own gear. Kids will enjoy catching sunfish right from the dock! There is also a paddle board available to explore and fish out on the lake. You are welcome to bring your own boat as well.

There is a public boat launch on our lake within walking distance of the home. Feel free to park your boat in our driveway, and load in each day at the lake access, just a few steps away. You are welcome to dock your boat at our dock. (Send us a message to see if your boat will fit.) Kayaks and paddleboards are welcome.
In the wintertime, you can skate and ice fish right out the backdoor. Bring your own gear. The backyard is the lake and is accessible right out the back door. There is also a huge sledding hill a mile away. Snowmobiles are welcome!

Place was very clean and they have plenty of things to keep the kids busy at nights. Probably my only complaints would be no fire pit for nightly fires and not much of a swimming area at the house but I didn’t take off of the rating cause the public beach and park area was really nice and maybe a 5 minute walk.

A trip with 4 adult children and a spouse. They come in from 4 states annually to spend a long weekend together on a lake. We don't need much to keep us happy, but this house failed. Cleanliness: Dead bugs on the sills, kitchen sink had an odor and the plastic drain strainers were moldy as were the drains. Cobwebs hung from the ceiling in the family room and the windows were so dirty they obscured the lake view. Someone's flip flops were sitting on a shelf and toys cluttered an area under the stairs. But worst were the mouse droppings we found in the cupboard - we washed everything we planned to use in the dishwasher and then used articles from there. However, that did not stop the mice from getting into two bags of food we left on the counter that they chewed open and ate out of. Other: no work desk, grill inaccessible and covered with debris, no table on deck(broken covered firepit), skillets were all burned-I bought an electric griddle to use as a grill and skillet

Great place to stay for a weekend in EC. An easy drive into town, close to a great grocery store, and incredible scenery.
