Mamie Lake

   Mamie Lake is a big, but shallow lake on the Cisco Chain of Lakes. The lake is about 15 minutes from Land O'Lakes, is sparsely populated and its water is low clarity. Mamie Lake is one of the Cisco Chain's larger but relatively shallow lakes, offering a blend of chain access and a slightly more rugged, lightly developed feel. Its lower clarity and expansive shallows make for productive weed and shoreline habitat, though it's less of a scenery showpiece than the clearer chain lakes. It's one of the larger but relatively shallow lakes on the Cisco Chain, reached with a short drive from Land O' Lakes. With lower water clarity and sparse development compared to some chain neighbors, it has a more rugged, back-of-the-chain character that appeals to anglers and cabin owners who prefer space over polish. Boaters often treat Mamie as part of a larger day's exploration, using its bays and shorelines as quiet stops between more central chain hubs. For cabin owners, it functions as a practical base on the chain with easy access to other waters while still providing enough structure and space to justify staying put for full days on the lake.
