Lower Ninemile Lake
Lower Ninemile Lake is a large, very shallow lake southeast of Eagle River with a broad, marsh-influenced character and expansive, vegetation-rich water. Its scale is impressive at nearly 850 acres, but its shallow depth and darker water give it more of a flowage or waterfowl-marsh personality than a deep kettle lake feel.
It appeals most to anglers and nature-focused owners who appreciate wildlife, birdlife, and shallow-water fishing patterns rather than sand beaches or high-speed boating.

This is a summary based on available information.
Shallow, dark lakes such as Lower Ninemile can be very productive for panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, with fish using weeds, stumps, and shoreline irregularities as primary habitat. Because the water is stained, fish are comfortable feeding shallow even on bright days, allowing anglers to cover water with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and weedless soft plastics. Key areas often include inflow zones, small channels, and any deeper pockets or ditches that offer slightly cooler water or increased current. For cabin owners, the lake functions as a fun, exploratory fishery where focus is on action, scenery, and solitude rather than trophy hunting or big‑boat recreation.
