Fence Lake

View of Fence Lake, the 3483 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Fence Lake spans over 3,400 acres and is one of Northern Wisconsin’s premier big-water lakes. With an average depth around 37 feet and clarity often exceeding 18 feet, it offers expansive blue-water views and strong water quality.

As the centerpiece of the Fence Lake Chain, it connects to thousands of additional acres of clear water, making it a top choice for extended cruising, serious fishing, and full-day boating. Despite its size, development averages roughly 24 owners per mile of shoreline, translating to nearly 12 acres of water per owner.

Fence Lake appeals to buyers who want true big-water presence combined with chain connectivity and proximity to Minocqua and Lac du Flambeau.

Biking/Walking/Ski Trails:
Lac Du Flambeau Bike Route - The Lac Du Flambeau Bike Route runs on the north side of Crawling Stone Lake and offers two loop lengths (depending whether you go around Flambeau Lake or Pokegama Lake) of 7 and 11 miles from the starting point in downtown Lac Du Flambeau. There are bathroom available at the starting point. The route is a road route so it isn't a perfect biking option, but it is a marked route so drivers should be more aware of your presence than if you were on a typical back road.
Paddling Routes:
No nearby paddling routes but the Fence Lake Chain is huge and you can paddle for days enjoying the crystal clear waters the whole time. Personally, I would rather paddle the clear waters of the Fence Chain over a river any day!
Snowmobile Trails:
The Northern Hornshoe Snowmobile Club Trails run to the north and west side of Fence Lake. This trail system consists of more than 28 miles of groomed trails around Lac Du Flambeau. The trail system connects to other systems giving you access to anywhere you want to go explore on your sled.

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

This is a summary based on available information.

Fence Lake is well known for its multi‑species fishing, especially walleyes, muskies, and smallmouth bass, along with pike and panfish. Anglers target reefs, points, and steep breaks with jigs, rigs, and deep‑running crankbaits, and many troll or cast big baits along edges for trophy muskies and walleyes. The extremely clear water demands natural presentations and careful timing, with low‑light windows and windy conditions often producing the best results. Given its size and complexity, Fence rewards anglers who invest time in mapping structure and following seasonal movements.

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.
