It offers tranquility, beauty, and the unique experience of seeing what's going on 40 feet below the lake's surface! If you are looking to travel and see a lake with views you could never imagine, Caribou Lake is well worth visiting. It offers beauty and the unique experience of seeing what's going on 40 feet below the lake's surface!

You can see in this photo below from Ben Smaby's Facebook page. The water is extremely clear, and that view is actually possible throughout much of the lake. It is not very often you can see 40 feet down the lake, but at Caribou Lake you can.

Buckhorn on Caribou Lake is a resort and highlights some of the unique aspects of the lake including being able to see nearly 40 feet down, along with being one of the deepest in the state at nearly 160 feet deep. It is also great for fishing trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, and sunfish year round.

The lake is small, about 1 mile long, and is 220 surface acres.
