The Lodge's three islands are located in the middle of six mile long Red Cedar Lake, a stunning lake located in northwestern Wisconsin, just a few miles from Birchwood and Rice Lake, and approximately two hours from the Twin Cities by vehicle. It is a part of a chain of three interconnected lakes that cover over 3,500 acres. Red Cedar Lake is the largest lake in this chain, covering over 1,800 acres and boasting over 37 miles of shoreline. Red Cedar is named after the red cedar trees that are found in the surrounding area. You can guess where the adjacent Balsam and Hemlock Lakes got their name.
