Little Fork Lake

Aerial view of Little Fork Lake, a 336 acre lake in Three Lakes, Wisconsin

Little Fork Lake is a well-positioned 336-acre lake on the Three Lakes Chain, sitting between Island Lake and Big Fork Lake with direct access to the full chain. It offers the benefits of big-system boating while often feeling a bit less hectic than some of the headline basins.

The shoreline is scenic and well-treed, with a mix of sheltered bays and open stretches that make it comfortable for cruising, fishing, and day-to-day lake living. Its mid-sized footprint makes it large enough to enjoy extended boat rides while still feeling manageable and readable from your dock.

For buyers who want true Three Lakes Chain access but prefer a slightly calmer home base, Little Fork tends to check a lot of boxes.

This is a summary based on available information.

Little Fork shares the chain’s muskie–walleye–bass–panfish mix, with fish using its points, weedlines, and modest breaks as part of broader movements through the system. Panfish and largemouths often concentrate in quieter bays and along inside weed turns, while smallmouths, walleyes, and pike use outer edges and subtle structural features between basins. Many anglers work 6–12 foot weed edges with jigs, live bait, and smaller crankbaits, then shift to deeper breaks and channel areas during bright or high-traffic periods. For cabin owners, Little Fork tends to fish like an “everyday” lake where you can find action close to home and then expand into neighboring Island and Big Fork when you want more variety.

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.
