There are three large private lakes brimming with largemouth bass, wide, clean sand beaches with protected swimming areas and waters for canoeing and sailing; in winter, ice fishing and skating. A sparkling mountain stream where excellent trout fishing beckons. Fully equipped playgrounds, picnic areas and six professional Laykoid surface tennis courts, are some of the many amenities.

Two Big Recreation Centers for vacationing the year 'round. One has a beautiful indoor pool, coffee shop and snack bar, an expansive view of the private ski slope and "T" bar, sauna, game room including billards table and ski shop. The other recreation center adjoins the large heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and basketball court and contains the tennis pro shop, locker rooms, game rooms and facilities for major adult social functions. It's all here now, Summer or Winter, at incomparable Big Bass Lake.

Big Bass Lake is a creation of brothers Lou and John Larsen. They represent the fourth generation of a family dedicated to bringing other American families close to nature by offering highest quality vacation living at affordable prices.

This proud heritage began over a hundred years ago when Norwegian-born Lars Larsen left the commercial fishing industry to build summer vacation cottages on Long Island. The tradition of leisure home building continuing through four generations is perhaps unparalleled in the industry. The Larsens' reputation in this field is impeccable. Their accomplishments, remarkable.
