One of the truly remarkable facts about the Longville, Hackensack and Walker area is that it offers a selection of lakes in one area that's simply beyond compare - from large, recreational lakes to quiet, pristine, less developed lakes. There are over 345 lakes in Cass County alone, and all the lakes in this area offer excellent water clarity, many types of lakeshore, numerous recreational opportunities, and a wide variety of sport fish and wildlife. No other area in the Upper Midwest offers such a selection of high quality lakes.
What does this mean for you? When you decide to purchase a lake property, you'll have the opportunity to select a property on a lake that's perfect for you. Our area offers a lake for every interest, from big water fishing, boating to towns and restaurants, to quiet less developed lakes for enjoying the call of the loons and a peaceful cabin nestled in the pines. Plus you'll be close to hundreds of other lakes that offer numerous types of lake recreation and enjoyment.
For example, you can spend long summer days at your cabin on the sandy shores of Long Lake and still fish the opener on Leech Lake, fifteen minutes away. Take a canoe trip on the Boy River starting out at the Anchorage Inn on Lake Inguadona or spend the afternoon on Birch Lake and boat into Hackensack for an ice cream cone. The possibilities are endless!
