Lake Lucerne

   Lake Lucerne is an extremely clear big lake located just outside of Crandon. The clearest recorded secchi disc reading is over 35 feet. The lake has a long and skinny shape so it does feel pretty active when a lot of boats are out. The average depth of Lake Lucerne is 31 feet. The lake does have quite a few homes. There are about 37 owners per mile of shoreline and about 3 acres of water per owner. Lake Lucerne is one of Forest County's signature lakes, a large, deep, very clear lake south of Crandon with long stretches of forested shoreline and scattered cabins and resorts. Its sandy bottoms, blue water, and varied bays give it a bright, almost Northwoods-meets-up-north resort feel. The lake is big enough to comfortably host pontoons, ski boats, and anglers without feeling cramped, and public access and nearby amenities make it a popular summer destination for families. It's one of the area's signature lakes, offering blue, clear water, varied shoreline, and enough size for serious boating, swimming, and fishing. Families use it as a classic Up North base, combining beach days, pontoon cruises, and multi-species angling.
