Clearwater Lake
What makes Clearwater Lake rank as my favorite lake in the Northwoods?
While Clearwater Lake is a Gold Bar Realty property, that is not reason enough to get the top spot. Clearwater is an awesome lake. It's private, it's quiet, the water is clear and deep, it's spring-fed, the fishing is fantastic, there is a classic Northwoods shoreline, and the list goes on. It checks a lot of the boxes, but looking only at the lake, it is hard to say it's the best lake in the Northwoods. It's hard to beat the clarity of Black Oak Lake or Stormy Lake or the size of Trout Lake, Plum Lake, and White Sand Lake or the recreation opportunities offered on the Minocqua, Manitowish Waters, or Fence Lake Chain of Lakes. However, the reason I have Clearwater at #1 is that it isn't just about the lake - it's about the overall experience. Yes, the lake has all the fantastic features mentioned above, but it's also located within 5 miles of two towns, there is natural gas, high speed internet and good cell coverage, and the homes are all very nice. It's even more than that. Clearwater is the center point of a private development. The lakefront lots are surrounded by 700 undeveloped acres for the private use and enjoyment of the lake residents. When you own at Clearwater you can enjoy hiking trails, a practice "golf course", frisbee golf, and in general, a more expansive experience than owning just a lot on a different lake.
Clearwater Lake is a Gold Bar property, so I do know it really well. Please contact me if you'd like to learn more.

This is a summary based on available information.
Clear, deep, spring‑fed lakes like Clearwater usually support strong bass and panfish populations, with pike and occasional stocked gamefish depending on management. The ultra‑clear water generally calls for lighter line, more natural presentations, and a focus on structure—breaks, rock, and mid‑lake features—rather than very shallow weeds in bright conditions. Early and late in the day, or on windy, overcast afternoons, fish often move higher in the water column and closer to drop‑off edges, creating good windows for residents who time short trips around those bites. Because the lake is private with no public landing, overall fishing pressure is naturally limited, which can help maintain healthier age structures and give regular owners a chance to dial in patterns over time.
