I rarely take the time to write reviews, but my stay at Fortress Lake was incredible. My father and I went there for my graduation trip, and I've been dreaming of going back ever since. The scenery alone is well worth the price… not to mention the exceptional fishing, food, and staff. Craig is truly wonderful and I am so glad I was able to go to Fortress Lake. A perfect experience! I have nothing but praise.
