Circle Lily Lake

   Circle Lily Lake is a deep 218 acre public lake that is a 7 minute drive from Manitowish Waters. The water has low clarity. This compact but deep lake near Manitowish Waters has around 200 acres of water and a reputation for having notably lower water clarity than nearby clear-water lakes. The surrounding forest and limited development give it a tucked-away, almost hidden feel despite being only a short drive from town. The lake combines a relatively deep basin with noticeably stained water, creating a cozy, intimate feel compared to the area's clear-water lakes. Lower clarity, combined with depth, makes the lake feel more intimate and can reduce perceived crowding since long sightlines are limited. Limited development and heavy woods around the shoreline give it a hidden quality even though it is only minutes from town. It is a good match for owners who like quieter water and do not mind the darker color if it means fewer boats and more privacy.
