Lake Creek

   Lake Creek is on the Rhinelander Chain of Lakes. It is a very shallow 172 acre public lake that is a 6 minute drive from Rhinelander. The water is moderately clear. Lake Creek is a very shallow, roughly 170-acre segment of the Rhinelander Chain located just a few minutes from town. It functions as both a small lake and a connecting reach, with a mix of weeds, channels, and flow that give it a river-meets-lake character. Shoreline development is moderate, and it feels more like a local fishing hole and travel corridor than a stand-alone big-water destination. It's a shallow, roughly 170-acre link in the Rhinelander Chain only a few minutes from town, mixing channels, weeds, and modest flow. It feels like both a small lake and a connector, used heavily by anglers and cruisers moving between larger basins.
