Kawaguesaga Lake

View of Kawaguesaga Lake, the 700 acre lake in Minocqua, Wisconsin
   Kawaguesaga Lake is a 700 acre lake on the Minocqua Chain of Lakes. The lake is basically in Minocqua so everything is conveniently located. The water is clear (11.5 ft clarity) and deep (18 ft average depth) and there is always action on the lake. The land on the west side of the lake is rolling and really picturesque. There are about 25 owners per mile of shoreline, so it is less developed than some other lakes on the chain. Kawaguesaga Lake is a roughly 700-acre member of the Minocqua Chain, effectively in town, with clear water (around 11-12 feet of clarity) and an average depth near 18 feet. Its rolling west-shore topography and irregular bays give it strong visual appeal, and with about 25 owners per shoreline mile, it is somewhat less densely developed than some other chain lakes. It's effectively right in Minocqua with clear water and an average depth near 18 feet. It sees regular boat and resort activity but has fewer owners per mile of shoreline than some chain counterparts—around 25 per mile—especially along its rolling, picturesque west side. Connected to Minocqua Lake and the rest of the chain, it offers full access to restaurant docks, marinas, and extended boat rides while still having pockets that feel a bit quieter than the very center of activity. For buyers who want full chain access, good water quality, and a slightly less dense shoreline feel than the busiest lakes, Kawaguesaga is a prime candidate.
