Clear Lake
Clear Lake is the northernmost and one of the quieter lakes on the Manitowish Waters Chain. Spanning 515 acres with deep, clear water, it offers strong fishing and a clean, open-water feel.
With only about 8 owners per mile of shoreline and over 9 acres of water per owner, development remains notably light for a chain lake. Properties tend to turn over infrequently, reinforcing its stable, low-density character.
Clear Lake appeals to buyers who want chain connectivity paired with high water quality and a calmer atmosphere than the more central basins.

This is a summary based on available information.
The Manitowish chain is known for good fishing for walleye, musky, smallmouth and largemouth bass, and panfish, and Clear Lake shares in that multi‑species reputation. The high water clarity often pushes fish deeper or into shade, so anglers commonly target breaks, mid‑lake structure, and shoreline edges during low‑light windows or when wind roughs up the surface. Subtle presentations—like finesse plastics, slip bobbers, or live bait rigs—often outperform loud, flashy lures in the clear water. For musky and walleye chasers, Clear Lake fishes best when anglers pay attention to light, wind, and boat pressure, picking windows when fish are more comfortable moving shallow.
