Big Carr Lake
Big Carr Lake is largely state-owned, with only about 6.5 owners per mile of shoreline, giving it a distinctly natural and low-density feel. With approximately 8 feet of clarity and a deep basin averaging around 40 feet, the lake has a clean, open-water character that feels more secluded than its location might suggest.
Situated roughly 15 minutes from Minocqua and also close to Lake Tomahawk, Big Carr offers convenient access to dining, shops, and services while maintaining quiet, forested shoreline at home. The combination of depth, limited development, and accessibility makes it appealing to buyers who want privacy without isolation.

This is a summary based on available information.
The depth and clearer water suggest a fish community centered on panfish, bass, and pike, with possible walleye and other cool-water species depending on stocking and natural reproduction. Fish often relate strongly to breaks, mid-lake humps, and deeper weed edges, especially during bright summer days. Anglers who mix slower presentations along structure with low-light shoreline passes typically do best, and ice fishermen can take advantage of the basin for roaming panfish and predators.
