Buckskin Lake

Aerial view of Buckskin Lake, a 634 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin
   Buckskin Lake is a very shallow 634-acre public spring-fed lake that's a 14-minute drive from Lac Du Flambeau with low water clarity. This 600-plus-acre, very shallow spring lake is about 15 minutes from town with low clarity and extensive weeds that favor fishing and pontooning over high-speed boating. The combination of shallow depths and stained water gives it a weed-rich, fishy character more suited to pontoons, fishing rigs, and smaller boats than high-speed watersports, with a broad, open feel. Being only about 15 minutes from Lac du Flambeau, it offers easy access while still feeling a bit removed from town center. It's a practical choice for anglers and families who like easy-to-read, forgiving water.

This is a summary based on available information.

Shallow, stained, spring‑influenced lakes like Buckskin usually provide strong action for panfish, bass, and pike, with walleyes present in many cases. Anglers often work weedbeds, channels, and subtle depth changes with spinnerbaits, jigs, and shallow‑running crankbaits that show profile in low‑visibility water. Fish can remain active in relatively shallow zones throughout the day thanks to limited light penetration. It’s a good choice for casual anglers and families who enjoy steady bites and forgiving depths.
