   Big Lake is the southernmost lake on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes. As its name implies, it is a big 865 acre lake that has a lot of room for boating, fishing, paddling and anything else you would want to do. Since the lake is towards the end of the chain, it doesn't see the same amount of traffic as other lakes on the chain.
