Dead Pike Lake
Dead Pike Lake is a 309-acre public lake just eight minutes from Manitowish Waters, known for its notable depth and moderately clear water. The deep basin gives it a slightly cooler, more “big-water” feel than many nearby cottage lakes.
The shoreline remains largely wooded with scattered development, and overall boat traffic tends to stay lighter than on the main chain lakes. Its combination of depth, water quality, and proximity to town creates an appealing blend of convenience and insulation.
Buyers drawn to Dead Pike often want a deeper, more serious fishing and cruising lake that still sits close to town without feeling busy.

This is a summary based on available information.
Depth and cooler water support a solid fish community including walleyes, pike, bass, and panfish, with some lakes in this class also hosting trout or cisco forage. Anglers often emphasize structure fishing—working steep breaks, points, and offshore humps with jigs, live bait, and deep‑running crankbaits. The moderately clear water rewards careful boat positioning and quieter presentations, especially during sunny conditions. Evening, early morning, and shoulder‑season periods commonly offer the best walleye and pike action as fish slide shallower to feed along edges and flats.
