Biking/Walking/Ski Trails:

Paddling Routes:
No nearby designated paddling routes. The Minocqua Chain is real close is better for paddling than most paddling routes anyway. The water is clear and there is a lot of action to watch. It's an entertaining way to spend a few hours...or days, if you want! Sticking to exploring the shoreline of Katherine is not a bad option either, it's a beautiful lake.

This is a summary based on available information.

Katherine supports a multi-species warmwater fish community, including walleye, bass, northern pike, musky, and panfish, with anglers taking advantage of its clear water and varied structure. Weed edges, points, and mid-depth breaks are key locations, and the clarity often rewards precise boat control and more natural presentations. Despite higher fishing pressure than on smaller lakes, the combination of depth, structure, and water quality offers plenty of opportunity for anglers who adjust tactics to conditions.
