Big Lake (L)
Big Lake is part of the Cisco Chain of Lakes - a 771-acre public lake about 19 minutes from Land O’ Lakes. Its shallow profile and tannin-influenced water are characteristic of this border-country chain system.
The broad basin provides a big-water feel with plenty of room for boating, fishing, and exploring through connected lakes. Shoreline development remains distinctly Northwoods rather than heavily urbanized, maintaining a forested backdrop around much of the lake.
Owners appreciate the spacious layout, long views, and its role as a gateway into the broader Cisco Chain.

This is a summary based on available information.
As part of the Three Lakes Chain, Big Lake shares the system’s multi-species reputation, with muskies, walleyes, bass, pike, and panfish all present. Anglers often focus on main-lake points, bars, and weedlines, especially where subtle current funnels water in and out of the basin. Walleyes and panfish are frequently taken along 8–12 foot edges with jigs, live bait rigs, and slip bobbers, while muskies roam breaks and saddles that connect structural pieces. For cabin owners, Big Lake offers the feel of a self-contained big lake with the bonus that you can always push farther up the chain when you want new scenery or a different bite.
