Description

Every summer, we greet hundreds of anglers looking to enjoy some time with friends and family, catch the big one and share incredible stories.

Rain or shine, our guests head out on their quest to get their name on the board in the lodge.

They hunt Muskies, Walleye, Northern and Bass during the day. At night, it's Northern Lights, Meteor Showers and Friends around the Fire

They come as adventure seekers, and leave with incredible stories as friends.

Sharon is a retired 30 year police veteran and a 47 year runner, with no plans to retire from marathons anytime soon. While she and her husband, John, escape to Eagle Lake Island Lodge every year, things get a little more “interesting” when they hit the road for marathons. Sharon joins us to share the hilarity of their travels and the secret to a long marriage, which apparently involves avoiding John the night before a race!
Leroy Mengel is no stranger to The Lodge, he's visited for years and is proof that age is just a number. Listen to just a few of his stories as he joins Laura and Charlene out on the new portion of the outdoor dining area, so you'll hear the ambient sounds of the happenings of the lodge. Listening to Leroy talk, you'd never guess he's 94 years old.
Cody Tucker returns to the island each summer for an annual Muskie hunt with her dad, a welcome break from a high pressure career. As the Business Manager for space missions at a science philanthropy, Cody is the central hub for operations. Every contract and invoice, every part of the mission goes through her. So, you can see why she would need this refreshing break to regroup.We chatted on the new dining patio extension on a beautiful evening, the calls of loons drifting across the water, (sometimes they were real loons, and other times, Charlene’s ringtone). In the background, a fire crackled as guests settled in for an evening of storytelling and taking in the scenic views.Check out the website describing what Cody's company just announced and the missionhttps://www.schmidtsciences.org/schmidt-observatory-system/Here's also a cool article from astronomy.com about the announcement and the company's work We have to add the New York Times article as well!https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/science/eric-schmidt-telescopes-google-space.html
