Flambeau Lake

View of Flambeau Lake, the 1166 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Flambeau Lake spans approximately 1,166 acres and sits directly within Lac du Flambeau. With clarity around 20 feet and nearly twelve miles of shoreline, it offers deep, clear water paired with expansive stretches of undeveloped frontage.

Despite its in-town location, there are fewer than five owners per mile of shoreline and roughly 20 acres of water per owner, giving it an unexpectedly open feel. A bike trail loops around portions of the lake, and its connection to the Fence Lake Chain provides access to thousands of additional acres.

The combination of clear water, limited shoreline housing, and town-center access makes Flambeau a unique blend of community presence and big-water Northwoods character.

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

This is a summary based on available information.

Flambeau Lake hosts a classic Northwoods mix of walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish, benefiting from good depth and clarity. Anglers work points, drop‑offs, and shoreline structure with jigs, rigs, and crankbaits, and many also troll or cast big baits for muskies along prominent edges. The clear water favors low‑light and windy periods for walleyes and larger predators, with panfish and bass more accessible in shallow weeds and around docks. Its in‑town setting makes it an easy lake to fish before or after other activities around Lac du Flambeau.

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.
