Bass Lake(R)
Bass Lake is part of the Rhinelander Chain - a 184-acre public lake located about 14 minutes from Rhinelander. Its shallow profile and tannin-influenced water give it a more intimate, tucked-back character compared to larger, deeper chain lakes.
Development is present but not dense, and the modest public profile helps keep overall traffic lighter than on larger destination waters. The lake works well for small boats, pontoons, and paddling, making it a comfortable close-to-town option for swimming and action-oriented warmwater fishing.
Buyers who choose Bass Lake typically value convenience and a relaxed cabin atmosphere over big-water cruising or high-horsepower recreation.

This is a summary based on available information.
Shallow, spring‑influenced water typically supports good panfish and largemouth bass populations, with scattered pike and occasional bonus fish. Anglers tend to work the weedy shorelines, inside turns, and any slightly deeper cuts where cooler inflows or bottom changes provide just enough difference to hold fish. Because the lake is quite shallow, mid‑summer fishing often shifts toward early morning and evening when fish feel more comfortable roaming the flats and are less spooked by light and boat traffic. For cabin owners, that pattern meshes well with everyday use: daytime for swimming and paddling, dawn and dusk for slipping out with a simple selection of weedless bass baits and panfish tackle.
