go to detroit lake chamber of comerce, there is a holiday inn and numerous motels/ hotels, there is a really nice resort on big pelican lake called fair hills, it has a great golf course and also big pelican has some monster muskies, the dnr test netted a 60 inch fish last year. she is still swimming in big pelican only 15 min to dl.

I checked with the DNR and they didn't even sample Pelican Lk last spring and the largest they've ever seen there is 54 1/2. Not sure where your getting your info on 60 inches but it's wrong! Just another internet rumor of 60.

Holiday inn and The Lodge on Big Detroit are your two lakeside options. Both are not cheap and the lodge is a suite only hotel both are very convienient.

I live 45 mins away from both lakes and I can't say that I have heard of a 60 incher netted but what I can tell you is those are 2 really good muskie lakes with some very good year classes and good numbers for mid to high 40 inch fish.

Good Luck
