Whatever your interests unsurpassed beauty awaits you during your winter vacation in the U.P. Jay's Resort is right on beautiful Thousand Island Lake. Named for its size and many islands, Thousand Island Lake is spring-fed, clear and deep, the largest of the famous Cisco Chain of 15 Lakes. The Cisco Chain abounds with walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, lake trout, musky, and pan fish. All 15 lakes and 271 miles of wooded scenic shoreline are accessible by boat.

Only a mile and a half away from Jay's Resort is the Sylvania Wilderness Area of the Ottawa National Forest. It offers 21,000 acres of virgin timber and over 30 additional lakes and streams. Sylvania offers canoeing, swimming, picnicing, hunting, fishing, hiking, and unsurpasses natural scenic beauty.
