Boulder Lake

   Boulder Lake is the closest lake to downtown Boulder Junction. The lake has miles of shoreline to be explored and is part of a marked paddling route. Despite its proximity to town, it retains a pleasantly wooded shoreline with a mix of homes and natural stretches, so it feels like a true Northwoods lake rather than an in-town pond. The size and layout make it versatile: cabin owners can paddle quiet backwaters, cruise across larger basins, or link up with nearby rivers and routes without leaving the immediate area. The marked paddling route showcases its bays, channels, and forested edges. It sits right by downtown Boulder Junction yet still offers long, wooded shorelines and a designated paddling route. It's a natural choice for owners who want to be near shops and restaurants without giving up the look and feel of a true Northwoods lake. Buyers who choose Boulder Lake often want to be close to shops and restaurants while still feeling very much "up north" once they push off from the dock.
