Long Lake

View of Long Lake, the 620 acre lake in Eagle River, Wisconsin

Long Lake is one of the standout lakes on the Three Lakes Chain, offering roughly 600 acres of water with a varied shoreline and a slightly lower density than many neighboring basins—around 15 owners per mile. Larger land tracts help keep portions of the shoreline feeling more open and less crowded than other chain segments.

Average depths are in line with the rest of the chain, and water clarity is solid for the system. As one of the more popular lakes, it does see steady summer boat traffic, but its size and layout provide plenty of room to spread out.

For buyers who want true chain boating, a recognizable address, and a lake that balances activity with some breathing room, Long Lake consistently ranks among the stronger options on the Three Lakes Chain.

This is a summary based on available information.

Deep, clear lakes like Long (Phelps) often support quality smallmouth and largemouth bass, panfish, pike, and sometimes trout or walleye depending on stocking and habitat. Steeper breaks, rock structure, and mid‑lake features play a bigger role than shallow weeds, with fish commonly holding off points or along edges where hard bottom meets softer sediments. Many anglers focus on early and late in the day or on windy afternoons, using finesse plastics, live bait rigs, and crankbaits to work drop‑offs and rocky areas. Cabin owners typically learn to fish a bit deeper and more precisely here, trading sheer numbers of shallow bites for a mix of quality fish and the satisfaction of working clear, less‑pressured water.

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.
