North Twin Lake
North Twin Lake is one of the premier big-water lakes in the Eagle River area, offering nearly 2,900 acres of deep, clear water and roughly ten miles of shoreline.
Connected to South Twin, it forms an expansive two-lake system that delivers serious boating, long runs, strong multi-species fishing, and broad open-water views. Despite its popularity, the sheer scale of the lake allows it to absorb traffic better than many smaller systems. For buyers seeking a legitimate big-lake experience within a reasonable drive of Eagle River and Phelps, North Twin consistently ranks near the top of the list.

Fishing reports and regulations highlight North Twin as a noted multi‑species lake with strong walleye, smallmouth bass, panfish, northern pike, and muskellunge populations. Classic spots include long points, mid‑lake humps, and breaks where rock or hard bottom transitions into deeper water, as well as necked‑down areas between North and South Twin. Because the water is clear and the lake is deep, many anglers focus on early and late windows, wind‑blown shorelines, and deeper structure, using live bait rigs, crankbaits, and vertical presentations. For cabin owners, North Twin offers a true “destination” fishery where you can chase different species through the year and still enjoy long, scenic pontoon loops on off‑days.
