Fifth Lake

Aerial view of Fifth Lake, a 238 acre lake in Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Fifth Lake is a 238-acre shallow lake on the Moen Chain east of Rhinelander with moderately clear water. As part of the connected system, it functions as a quieter back-basin compared to the chain’s main access lakes.

Its broad shallows and cabin-country shoreline give it a relaxed fishing-and-pontoon character. Owners enjoy the ability to explore multiple connected lakes while returning to a calmer home shoreline.

This is a summary based on available information.

Moen Chain lakes, including Fifth Lake, support walleyes, muskies, pike, bass, and panfish in varied shallow habitats. On Fifth, anglers often concentrate on weedbeds, channels, and edges where it links to other chain segments, using spinners, jigs, and shallow‑running lures. The moderate clarity allows for both natural and slightly brighter presentations. Chain connectivity means fish movements can be substantial, so success often comes from reading wind, current, and seasonal movements between basins.

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.
