From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you?ve returned home.

Whether you choose to explore on snowmobile, ATV, car, camper, bike, boat, skis, or by foot, you are sure to discover the unending, unique fascination of the Northwoods.

If you're looking for panfishing this isn't the lake for you. We went to the same lodge on fat lake for the second time in 4 years, both times catching 25 fish or fewer. Personally I was trying for anything. There were 3 small spots that we tries and had a tad bit success but they weren't consistent. We wound up with 4 Northern, 7 walleye(1 23", 1 17", and the rest 10" or less, a few blugill and sunfish, and about 10 perch with the biggest one 8" throughout the 4 days we fished. The lake is pretty nice its just that there aren't enough fish In the lake
