Amnicon is often mentioned along with Dowling Lake and Lyman Lake; all three are located in the same general area.  Each, however, has its own character.  Amnicon is the largest of the three.  As you can see from this aerial, it’s developed along most of its shoreline.  (The only exception is the southern shoreline.)  It has mix of homes in various sizes.  Because most of the buildable shoreline has already been developed, vacant lots come on the market more rarely.

Lyman is often mentioned along with Amnicon Lake and Dowling Lake; all three are located in the same general area.  Each, however, has its own character.  What’s more, Lyman is different from Amnicon and Dowling.  As you can see from the aerial, it’s not quite as developed as the other two lakes.  On average, this lake’s homes and lots tend to be larger.  Many of the undeveloped areas are marshy and low-lying; buildable lots don’t often become available.
