Gleniffer Lake might just be the perfect place to learn, with a healthy population of walleye, pike and trout to teach the youngsters the art of catch and release. Whatever water activities you have planned for your summer, Gleniffer Lake is sure to provide the perfect setting for your family!

Lakeside vacationing, including camping, is what makes Gleniffer Lake so special.
