Minocqua Lake

   Minocqua Lake is probably the most active lake in Northern Wisconsin. All summer long people are out enjoying this 1350 acre lake on the Minocqua Chain. Minocqua Lake is located downtown and there are quite a few places to stop in for a bite to eat and a drink. The nice thing about the Minocqua Chain compared to the Eagle River/Three Lakes Chain (the other high activity chain in the area) is that the water quality is really good. The clarity of Minocqua Lake is 18 feet. The lake is heavily developed with 39 owners per mile of shoreline and it has an average depth of 23 feet. Minocqua Lake is a roughly 1,350-acre hub of the Minocqua Chain and one of the busiest lakes in northern Wisconsin, sitting directly alongside downtown Minocqua. With an average depth around 23 feet and clear water—about 18 feet of visibility—it supports heavy recreational use while still maintaining good water quality. Dense shoreline development (around 39 owners per mile) and multiple business docks make it a highly social lake. It's the centerpiece of the Minocqua Chain and is often described as one of the most active lakes in northern Wisconsin with roughly 1,350 acres of water right off downtown. All summer long, pontoons, ski boats, fishing rigs, and resort traffic share the lake, taking advantage of its 23-foot average depth, clear water (around 18 feet of clarity), and direct access to lakeside dining and shops. Heavily developed with around 39 owners per mile of shoreline, it's ideal for buyers who want to be in the middle of the action, step off the boat for lunch, and enjoy a social, big-lake feel—boat from cabin to restaurant, attend events by water, and be in the center of the action.
