Outdoor activities range from fishing and paddling to cabin camping
Although residents have their private backyards to enjoy nature, Brightstone Lake offers a respite fit for camping, fishing and waterfront views. Residents can go out on the water with their personal canoes, paddle along the calm waters and soak in the scenic sky views against the lake’s reflection. For fishing enthusiasts, there are bass, crappie, perch and more. “We wanted to create a fun getaway right in our community,” says joint-owner Eric Roosma. “When we go on vacation, we stay in places similar to the ones we’re building. So, we thought we’d bring that to our own community.” Currently, camping and fishing are a favorite pastime on the lake. Cabins are 700-1,000 square feet with ornate wood trimmings and wood fireplaces. “I was born and raised here,” says Roosma. “And I wanted to bring an oasis to my hometown. We’re rooted in the community.”
