Crawling Stone Lake

View of Crawling Stone Lake, the 1483 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Crawling Stone Lake spans 1,483 acres on the Fence Lake Chain and is known for its clear water, averaging around 15 feet of visibility, and a deep basin with an average depth of approximately 31 feet. It offers big-water quality within a chain setting.

Although connected to other Fence lakes, it generally experiences less through-traffic than some of the larger, central basins. With about 20 owners per mile of shoreline and over 8 acres of water per owner, development remains moderate for a lake of this size.

The depth, clarity, and scenic points make Crawling Stone attractive to buyers who want chain connectivity with a slightly quieter shoreline presence, while remaining within practical reach of Lac du Flambeau and Minocqua.

Times are approximate. I just took a rough average from different points around the lake.

This is a summary based on available information.

Crawling Stone participates in the Fence Chain’s strong multi‑species fishery, with walleyes, muskies, smallmouth and largemouth bass, pike, and panfish all present. Anglers often work rocky points, deep breaks, and mid‑lake structure with jigs, live bait rigs, and deep‑running crankbaits, especially at dawn, dusk, and on windy days when fish slide shallower. The ultra‑clear water rewards natural colors and precise boat control, and many musky anglers focus on edges and saddles that connect Crawling Stone to neighboring chain lakes.

I had AI give me the coordinates for the launches I had on file. They are not super accurate, but should give a rough idea of where you can find the landings. If no coordinates were available at all I didn't link to the map.
