Muskellunge Lake

Aerial view of Muskellunge Lake, a 287 acre lake in St. Germain, Wisconsin

Muskellunge Lake is a 287-acre shallow, spring-fed lake about 25 minutes from St. Germain with moderately clear water and a relaxed, fishing-first character.

Its broad shallows and natural edges give it a strong Northwoods feel, and the slightly longer drive helps keep random traffic down. Owners tend to value it for steady multi-species fishing and a quieter, camp-style atmosphere rather than high-speed recreation.

This is a summary based on available information.

As the name suggests, Muskellunge Lake has a reputation for producing muskies along with pike, bass, panfish, and some walleyes. The shallow, moderately clear water favors weed‑related patterns, with anglers working edges, channels, and shoreline breaks using bucktails, spinnerbaits, topwaters, and large plastics. Because much of the lake is relatively shallow, muskies and other predators can be contacted throughout the day, especially when wind or cloud cover reduces light penetration. Panfish and bass fishing around weeds and inside turns offers steady action for families and casual anglers.

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.
