Lake Seventeen

View of Lake Seventeen, the 172 acre lake in Minocqua, Wisconsin

Lake Seventeen is a 172-acre clear, moderately deep lake just south of Minocqua that consistently stands out for its combination of water quality, character, and location. With roughly 20 feet of average depth and about 11–12 feet of clarity, it delivers clean, swimmable water in a manageable footprint.

Its 4.3-mile shoreline twists through coves, points, and narrows, giving it far more personality than a simple round basin. A significant portion of the shoreline remains undeveloped, and with fewer than 14 owners per mile and roughly 3 acres of water per owner, it maintains a balanced, lightly built-out feel.

Set slightly off the main corridors, Lake Seventeen feels calm and tucked away, yet it remains only a quick drive to Minocqua. For buyers who want high-quality water and privacy without sacrificing convenience, it is consistently one of the better small-to-mid-sized options in the Minocqua area.

Times are approximate. I just took a rough average from different points around the lake.

This is a summary based on available information.

The clear, moderately deep water favors a multi-species fish community, including panfish, bass, and pike, with some potential for walleye depending on management. Anglers often work shoreline and mid-lake structure, using light line and natural presentations to account for the clarity, especially in bright conditions. The irregular shoreline helps distribute fishing pressure and gives plenty of options for tucking out of wind or boat traffic.
