Lower Kaubashine Lake

View of Lower Kaubashine Lake, the 198 acre lake in Minocqua, Wisconsin

Lower Kaubashine Lake is one of those smaller lakes that consistently overperforms for its size. With roughly 200 acres, an average depth around 16 feet, and clarity near 13 feet, it offers clean, appealing water only about 8 minutes from Minocqua.

Shoreline density—around 18 owners per mile—keeps it feeling lived-in but not crowded, and day-to-day boat traffic tends to stay light. It delivers solid fishing, good swimming conditions, and a calm, comfortable pace.

For buyers who don’t need big-chain acreage but want quality water, convenient access to town, and a lake that checks a lot of boxes, Lower Kaubashine is often considered one of the stronger small-lake 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.

Lower Kaubashine likely holds a solid mix of panfish, bass, and pike, with some walleye possible, typical of clear, mid-sized Northwoods lakes. Fish often use both shoreline cover and mid-depth structure, so anglers can do well casting along weedlines and points as well as probing deeper breaks. The lake’s manageable size makes it relatively easy to pattern, which is a plus for cabin owners who fish it repeatedly across seasons.

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.
