We've been on this lake since 1932. In my opinion, this is among the finest, closely held northwoods lakes in the state. Fishing is still excellent, the lake offers many quiet bays and long expanses of calm water for watersports, everything from deep clear open water to weedy pockets for excellent pan fishing. 7 miles from Minocqua, just far enough for solitude yet close enough to take advantage of what town has to offer.
