Visit Mercer, WI

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.

Every season offers a new way to experience our natural beauty. The quiet of winter snow is broken by the sounds of spring peepers that fade as the loon?s calls fill the lakes in the summer. Finally, the woods explode in a riot of color in autumn and then the cycle begins again. That?s the beauty of Mercer. You can?t go wrong... life is outdoors.

5 stars for water quality, fish quality and general appeal. Trophy Musky, Smallmouth and walleye don't come easy but they do swim here. As a bonus it connects to Averill and Van Vliet lakes that offer a variety of water to fish:clear/rocky, dark/sandy, clean/weedy... find it all on this chain. Not much boat traffic is another bonus, glad I bought property here!

I went here with my family about 13 years ago and we were able to only get a few smallies and small perch. Rough lake to fish.
