Ike Walton Lake

View of Ike Walton Lake, the 1417 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Ike Walton Lake is a sprawling 1,400-plus-acre lake northeast of Lac du Flambeau that delivers rare elbow room for its proximity to town. With nearly eight miles of shoreline and only about six owners per mile, it feels far more open and lightly built than most lakes within easy reach of Minocqua.

The water carries good clarity with an average depth around 10 feet, creating a broad, usable footprint for cruising, fishing, and long exploratory runs along forested shoreline. Much of the frontage remains wooded or in larger parcels, so sightlines often feel natural and expansive rather than tightly developed.

The public launch is serviceable but not especially prominent, which helps keep day traffic reasonable for a lake of this size. As a result, Ike Walton offers something increasingly hard to find: large-acreage water that still feels calm on an average summer weekday.

Buyers who gravitate to Ike Walton typically want scale without chaos — a lake big enough for serious boating and fishing, yet close enough to Lac du Flambeau and Minocqua to make everyday trips practical. It balances access and openness in a way few lakes of similar size can.

This is a summary based on available information.

Clear, low‑development lakes like Ike Walton generally support panfish, bass, pike, and walleyes, with fish using both offshore structure and shoreline cover. Anglers often focus on points, humps, and breaks with jigs, rigs, and subtle crankbaits, and may troll or long‑line for suspended fish in deeper basins. The quiet atmosphere and lower pressure keep fish less conditioned, but clear water still rewards stealthy approaches. It’s the sort of lake where careful exploration and timing can yield quality fish without heavy crowds.

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.
