Dam Lake

   Dam Lake is a big deep lake with moderately clear water. The lake is off the main roads so it does not have much for road noise, but it is still close to St. Germain and not too far from Eagle River or Minocqua. This is one of the larger, deeper lakes on the Sugar Camp Chain with moderately clear water and a shoreline that feels more wooded and tucked away than its size might suggest. Set off the main highways, it benefits from less road noise while still sitting within a short drive of St. Germain, Eagle River, and Minocqua, which makes it a convenient yet quiet base. The lake has enough open water for comfortable cruising and watersports, but many stretches still feel like classic cabin country rather than heavy resort development. It's one of the larger, deeper lakes on the Sugar Camp Chain with enough open water for serious boating but a shoreline that still feels wooded and somewhat tucked away. Set off the main roads, it avoids most highway noise while remaining within a short drive of three major Northwoods towns, making it a convenient yet peaceful base. Buyers who want chain boating plus a slightly more removed setting often put Dam Lake high on their list.
