Big Rock Resort

 Big Rock Resort is located in Horseshoe Bay facing the big part of Leech.  Or the big lake as it is often referred to.  

This is another one of those great old resorts that is still operating.  It has been updated a lot, just a beautiful looking resort.  The grounds are beautiful as well as the cabins.  They also have a swimming pool there.  You can find it at https://www.bigrockresort.com/

I believe that it has gone "condo" where people own the cabins and they are rented out by the resort. It appears that they are open year around as well. 

There is great fishing at Big Rock Reef, of course located out front of Big Rock Resort.  I've caught a LOT of walleyes on that reef.

As always, I'd love to hear your stories.

Bay Shore Cottages

This resort was located on the east side of Sucker Bay up toward the north part of the bay.   I know nothing else about this resort, I'm hoping that someone out there can give me more information about this resort!

Bakers Resort

 This resort was located on Agency Bay just to the east of Roosevelt Canal.  There are several large new houses where the map shows that the resort was located.

I would love for anyone that knows anything about this resort to go ahead and post to this blog.  It was a great spot on the lake with a nice beach where the resort was marked on the map and according to the chamber listing.
