Big Lake

Aerial view of Big Lake, a 865 acre lake in Three Lakes, Wisconsin

Big Lake is the southernmost lake on the Three Lakes Chain and spans approximately 865 acres. Its size provides ample room for boating, fishing, paddling, and longer exploratory runs across open water.

Because it sits toward the end of the chain, it generally experiences less traffic than some of the more centrally located lakes. Big Lake appeals to buyers who want full chain access along with more elbow room and a slightly quieter position within the system.
