Pioneer Lake

   Pioneer Lake is a shallow 429 acre public lake that is a 16 minute drive from Eagle River. The water is moderately clear. Pioneer Lake is a shallow, 429-acre public lake east of Eagle River with moderately clear water and a broad main basin that feels open yet still comfortably sized. At around a 15-20 minute drive from town, it feels more like a stand-alone destination than an in-town lake, which helps keep boat traffic moderate. Shoreline development includes a mix of cabins and homes, but there are still enough trees and open stretches to maintain a Northwoods look rather than a fully urbanized shoreline. It's a 429-acre, shallow lake a short drive from Eagle River with enough open water for pontooning and casual cruising but a calmer feel than the in-town chain. Its residential, cabin-focused shoreline and moderate clarity make it a straightforward, family-friendly choice for swimming, paddling, and multi-species fishing. Buyers who land on Pioneer often want a roomy, easy-to-navigate lake where they can mix casual fishing, paddling, and pontooning without the bustle of a major chain.
