Recreation

Ogge is a wonderful place for canoeing and kayaking. It has a number of camping sites with toilet and grill on many of the small islands. Very little of the shoreline is private property. On canoe trips, you can see moose (Alces alces), beaver, and varied birdlife. Canoes can be rented locally.
