Horsehead Lake (LT)
Horsehead Lake is a 377-acre shallow, spring-fed lake about 20 minutes from Minocqua with lower water clarity and a quieter, back-of-the-road feel. The stained water and modest depth make it more of a fishing, pontoon, and paddling lake than a clear-water swimming showpiece, and that naturally keeps boat traffic down.
It has a relaxed, unpretentious character that appeals to buyers who value quieter surroundings over postcard clarity. For someone who wants reasonable access to Minocqua but doesn’t need big-water energy or resort polish, Horsehead can be a comfortable, low-drama option.

This is a summary based on available information.
Shallow, stained lakes like Horsehead typically host abundant panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, with weed growth providing extensive cover. Presentations that work through or along vegetation—spinnerbaits, weedless plastics, slip-bobbers—tend to produce well, especially in early and late day periods. Because of the lower visibility, fish may be less line-shy than in clear lakes, which can be an advantage for family anglers learning the ropes.
