Lower Buckatabon Lake

View of Lower Buckatabon Lake, the 378 acre lake in Eagle River, Wisconsin
   Lower Buckatabon Lake is located about twenty minutes north of Eagle River. The lake is connected to Upper Buckatabon so there is access to miles of shoreline for paddling and fishing. The water clarity of 11 feet is good, but it is a shallow lake with an average depth of 8 feet. The lake isn't too crowded with just 17 owners per mile of shoreline. Lower Buckatabon Lake is a moderately clear lake north of Eagle River, connected to Upper Buckatabon and forming a scenic, two-lake system of bays, points, and stretches of quieter shoreline. The connection between the two basins adds variety for boaters and paddlers, who can move between open water, narrower sections, and more sheltered corners in a single outing. Shoreline development is present but not wall-to-wall, so the overall impression remains more wooded and cabin-centric than urbanized. It forms half of a two-lake system north of Eagle River with moderate clarity, a mix of bays and points, and enough space for comfortable pontooning and fishing. Connected water between Upper and Lower Buckatabon gives owners miles of shoreline and a small-chain feel without overwhelming size. Buyers who choose Lower Buckatabon often value the ability to explore miles of shoreline without leaving "home water," along with a mix of fishing, pontooning, and paddling opportunities.

This is a summary based on available information.

Regional information points to a healthy, mixed fish community with panfish, bass, northern pike, and walleye across the Buckatabon pair, aided by varied structure and moderately clear water. Weedlines, points, and constricted areas between basins often act as natural funnels where predators key on schooling baitfish and panfish. Anglers typically do well working jigs, live bait rigs, and crankbaits along 8–14 foot breaks, especially in early morning, evening, and during spring and fall transitions. For cabin owners, Buckatabon offers the feel of a small chain—enough water to stay interested, but still intimate enough to learn thoroughly over a few seasons of regular fishing.
