Lake George

Aerial view of Lake George, a 435 acre lake in Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Lake George is a 435-acre shallow lake east of Rhinelander with broad basins and active shoreline development. The water has a darker, sediment-rich character that supports strong weed growth and healthy fish habitat.

Its size provides room for regular pontooning and fishing activity without feeling tight, and its proximity to town makes it a popular choice for year-round residents. Buyers who value accessibility and solid everyday recreation over clear-water aesthetics often find Lake George to be a comfortable fit.

Lake George contour map

This is a summary based on available information.

Lake George’s shallow, turbid water supports strong populations of panfish, bass, and pike, with walleyes also present and targeted by local anglers. The low clarity keeps fish comfortable in shallow water throughout the day, so anglers often cast spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs around weedbeds and shoreline breaks. Because it is close to Rhinelander and easy to access, it’s a go‑to choice for quick outings. Learning how wind direction stacks bait and fish along particular shorelines can significantly improve catch rates.

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.
