Hunter Lake
Hunter Lake is a 175-acre, relatively deep, clear-water lake northwest of Eagle River with a wooded shoreline and modest development. The depth and clarity give it strong swimming and fishing appeal, while its manageable size keeps it feeling sheltered and easy to navigate.
The roughly 20-minute drive from town filters out casual traffic, so day-to-day use tends to stay lighter than the busier chain lakes. Buyers who choose Hunter usually want a smaller, deeper lake that fishes well and feels quiet, without committing to a long haul for groceries or restaurants.

This is a summary based on available information.
DNR and regional fishing sources indicate a mix of panfish, bass, and northern pike in Hunter Lake, with depth and clarity encouraging fish to use breaks, points, and mid‑lake structure. Panfish and largemouth often relate to weedlines and shoreline cover, while smallmouths and pike make good use of transitions where rock or harder bottom meets deeper water. Clear water generally means downsized presentations and a focus on lower‑light periods, with early morning and evening standing out as prime times to work drop‑offs and the outer edges of vegetation. For cabin owners, Hunter offers a rewarding “learn the lake” experience where a bit of time spent mapping contours pays off in consistent action across seasons.
