Irving Lake
Irving Lake is a 419-acre, very shallow public lake on the Ballard Chain about 25–30 minutes from Boulder Junction. With low water clarity and broad, marsh-fringed shallows, it has a more wild, fish-centric character than the clearer, deeper showcase lakes nearby.
Boat traffic tends to be light and skewed toward anglers and small boats rather than cruisers. Buyers who gravitate to Irving usually appreciate shallow-water fishing patterns, wildlife, and a quieter, backwater feel within a connected chain system.

This is a summary based on available information.
Irving Lake’s shallow, low-clarity character favors panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike that feed comfortably in just a few feet of water. Weedlines, reedbeds, and subtle channels through the shallows act as the primary structure, and anglers often cover water with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and weedless plastics. Because light penetration is limited, fish can remain active in shallow zones much of the day, though mornings and evenings still see heightened feeding activity. For cabin owners, Irving offers a fun, accessible fishery where action is often close to shore and long runs or complex electronics are not required.
