Blue Lake

View of Blue Lake, the 441 acre lake in Minocqua, Wisconsin

Blue Lake is a 441-acre lake with an average depth of 25 feet and water clarity that often reaches 25 feet. The combination of depth and clarity gives it a bright, clean feel that stands out immediately from the water.

The largely sand bottom and mix of hardwood and pine shoreline create a classic Northwoods look. Its gently winding 5.6-mile shoreline supports roughly 2.7 acres of water per owner and about 30 owners per mile of shoreline, keeping development present but not overwhelming.

There is no public launch, which keeps day-use pressure low and helps maintain a quieter, owner-focused atmosphere despite being only about ten minutes from Minocqua. Blue Lake appeals to buyers who want clear water, short drives to town, and a more residential feel.

This is a summary based on available information.

Blue Lake’s clear, moderate-depth water supports healthy populations of panfish, bass, and pike, with fishing effort primarily from residents and their guests rather than heavy day use. The clear conditions often require more subtle presentations and attention to light and wind, with early/late periods, overcast days, and wind-blown shorelines typically producing better action. Many owners treat fishing as one of several lake activities—alongside swimming, paddling, and cruising—rather than the sole focus.
