Fourth Lake

Aerial view of Fourth Lake, a 253 acre lake in Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Fourth Lake is a 253-acre shallow public lake on the Moen Chain located about 18–20 minutes from Rhinelander. With moderately clear water and broad shallows, it supports fishing and pontoon cruising throughout the chain.

Its mix of cottages and wooded stretches gives it a classic cabin-lake feel, and owners enjoy chain connectivity while returning to a simpler, shallower home basin.

This is a summary based on available information.

As part of the Moen Chain, Fourth Lake offers multi‑species fishing for walleyes, muskies, pike, bass, and panfish in a shallow, structure‑rich environment. Anglers typically target weedlines, points, and channels between basins, casting jigs, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits that work well in moderate clarity. Because depths are modest, fish behavior is strongly influenced by weed growth and wind direction. Many anglers treat Fourth as one stop in a day of chain‑hopping, working different lakes to follow fish 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.
