Palmer Lake is a shallow, 644-acre public lake roughly a 30-minute drive from Boulder Junction with very low water clarity and a broad, marsh-fringed shoreline. Its size and dark, fertile water give it a distinctly wild, flowage-like look with extensive shallow flats and softer bottom. Boat traffic is generally modest relative to its acreage, and much of the use comes from anglers and cabin owners who enjoy its off-the-radar feel and abundant shallow habitat. It's a 644-acre shallow lake about a half hour from Boulder Junction with very low clarity and broad marshy flats that feel more like a flowage. It's most attractive to anglers and cabin owners who like big, shallow habitat and a rustic edge rather than clear-water beaches. Buyers who choose Palmer typically want a big, fishy lake with a rustic edge more than a manicured, clear-water showpiece.
