Circle Lily Lake
Circle Lily Lake is a 218-acre public lake located just seven minutes from Manitowish Waters. Although relatively deep for its size, it features tannin-influenced water that gives it a darker, more intimate appearance than the area’s clearer lakes.
The combination of depth and stained water reduces long sightlines and helps create a cozy, tucked-away feel. Limited shoreline development and surrounding forest reinforce its quiet character despite being close to town.
Circle Lily appeals to buyers who value proximity to Manitowish Waters along with a smaller, less exposed basin and lighter day-to-day traffic.

This is a summary based on available information.
The darker, lower‑clarity water on Circle Lily tends to favor gamefish that are comfortable in stained conditions, with pike, bass, panfish, and possibly walleyes forming the core of the fish community. Anglers often work weedlines, points, and drop‑offs with louder or higher‑profile lures, such as spinnerbaits, rattling crankbaits, and larger plastics, to help fish find the bait. The reduced clarity can keep fish shallower and more willing to bite during the day compared to ultra‑clear lakes, which is a plus for casual anglers. Evening and early‑morning periods still shine, especially for larger predators sliding onto feeding flats and shoreline breaks.
