Harris Lake
Harris Lake sits near the Wisconsin–Upper Michigan border at the far northern edge of Vilas County, giving it a truly “up there” Northwoods feel. The water is deep and clear with a rich blue color, and with roughly 14 owners per mile of shoreline, views tend to be long and uncluttered.
Because it is off the main traffic corridors, day-to-day boat use is lighter than on lakes closer to larger towns. It’s a great option for buyers looking for an old-school Northern Wisconsin feel with strong water quality and a quieter setting while still being within reasonable reach of Manitowish Waters.

This is a summary based on available information.
Available fishing information indicates a healthy multi‑species lake with walleyes, muskies, pike, bass, and panfish benefiting from the lake’s good water quality and depth. Clear, blue water usually calls for more natural presentations—think subtle plastics, live bait, and neutral‑colored crankbaits—fished along breaks, reefs, and points. Walleyes and larger pike often relate to deeper structure during the day, sliding shallower during low‑light windows or whenever wind pushes bait toward shorelines. Because Harris is less pressured than some famous destinations, anglers who learn its structure and seasonal patterns can often find quality fish without heavy competition.
