High Lake
High Lake is a 741-acre clear-water lake just north of Boulder Junction with about 13 feet of average depth and nearly 20 feet of clarity. It connects directly to Fishtrap Lake, creating a larger semi-chain system with miles of shoreline, channels, and coves to explore without feeling like a high-traffic chain corridor. With only about 8 owners per mile of shoreline, it maintains a noticeably open, uncrowded feel for its size.
Because it sits farther north than many Minocqua-area lakes, High Lake tends to stay quieter while still being close enough to Boulder Junction for easy supply runs and dining. It appeals to buyers who want clear water, room to roam, and chain-style exploration without the busier, more social energy of the larger resort systems. It’s a strong choice for someone who values elbow room and connected water without constant through-traffic.

This is a summary based on available information.
High Lake shares a multi-species fishery with Fishtrap, including walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish that move through the channel between the two lakes. Points, weedlines, and channel-adjacent structure are key areas, with 8–16 foot edges often productive for walleyes and panfish. Muskies and pike work breaks, bars, and saddles that connect shallower feeding flats to deeper water, especially in low-light periods and during fall. For cabin owners, High Lake offers a satisfying mix of clear-water angling and interconnected exploration, reducing the need to trailer elsewhere for varied fishing.
