Little John Lake

Aerial view of Little John Lake, a 151 acre lake in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin

Little John Lake is a 151-acre very shallow public lake about ten minutes from Boulder Junction with darker, naturally tinted water and a marsh-fringed shoreline. Its broad shallows and soft contours give it a more wild, back-bay character than a deep, clear kettle lake.

Boat traffic is generally light, and the lake favors paddling, wildlife watching, and small fishing boats over high-speed use. It fits buyers who appreciate quiet water and a more natural, undeveloped look close to town.

This is a summary based on available information.

Very shallow, stained lakes like Little John often produce good numbers of panfish, largemouth bass, and pike, with fish comfortable feeding in shallow cover much of the time. Anglers usually work emergent vegetation, small channels, and any slightly deeper cuts with spinnerbaits, weedless plastics, and live bait under floats. Low clarity allows for effective power fishing even on bright days, while early and late periods can bring flurries of shallow strikes along the edges of heavier weeds. For cabin owners, Little John offers an easy, close-range fishery where action and scenery often matter more than fish size alone.

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.
