   Medicine Lake is on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes. It is a deep 396 acre public lake that is a 5 minute drive from Three Lakes. The water has low clarity. Medicine Lake is a deep, 396-acre lake on the Three Lakes Chain, located just a short drive from town but with a more subdued, off-highway shoreline feel. Its low-clarity water and depth give it a darker, more mysterious look than some of the clearer forest lakes, yet it still offers plenty of open water for cruising and exploring. Development is moderate, and its position in the chain makes it a natural pass-through for boaters linking different sections of the system. It's a deep, 396-acre link in the Three Lakes Chain with lower-clarity water and a somewhat quieter shoreline than the highest-profile basins. It appeals to owners who like being near town and on the chain but prefer a lake that feels more like a fishing destination than a pure resort hub. Buyers who like Medicine tend to appreciate the deeper water and slightly less polished look, seeing it as a strong fishing lake that is still convenient to town and the rest of the chain.

This is a summary based on available information.

Survey work and angler reports indicate a mixed community of walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish in Medicine Lake, consistent with the rest of the central Three Lakes Chain. The depth and lower clarity push many fish to relate to breaks, humps, and weed edges in mid-depth ranges, especially in 10–18 feet. Walleyes and pike often hold along the first major drop-offs, while muskies roam points, saddles, and areas with a bit of current connecting basins. Cabin owners who invest time in mapping structure and watching seasonal movements can find steady action here, especially in spring and fall or during low-light summer windows.
