Manitowish Lake

   Manitowish Lake is a 506 acre lake with an average depth over 20 feet. The lake is part of the Manitowish Waters Chain of Lakes, which is one of the nicer chains in the area, and is nice and close to town. While there is more traffic than on standalone lakes, the Manitowish chain does not see the traffic that other chains do since it is further north. Manitowish Waters is a nice town with some great spots to eat. There are 3.5 acres of water per owner on the lake and 20 owners per mile of shoreline. Manitowish Lake sits at the heart of the Manitowish Waters Chain, combining clear, deep water with easy access to town and the rest of the system. Shoreline development is a mix of year-round homes and cabins, but the overall feel remains more relaxed than busier chains farther south thanks to the area's location and quieter tourism profile. The lake has enough open water for cruising and watersports yet still feels manageable to navigate, with attractive wooded shores framing long views. It sits at the heart of the Manitowish Waters Chain, combining clear, deep water with direct connections to neighboring lakes and quick access into town. Shoreline development mixes cabins and year-round homes, but the lake retains a laid-back feel compared to busier chains farther south. It is a natural choice for buyers who want full chain boating plus the convenience of being close to restaurants, shops, and services. For buyers who want a true chain-of-lakes experience with a convenient "in town" address, Manitowish Lake is a natural centerpiece.
