Pickerel Lake (N)

Aerial view of Pickerel Lake (N), a 581 acre lake in St. Germain, Wisconsin

This Pickerel Lake is a large, shallow lake just minutes from St. Germain with cloudy water and expansive shallow flats.

Its turbid water and broad footprint make it more of a fish-habitat and pontoon lake than a clear-water destination. It is quite scenic though.

This is a summary based on available information.

Pickerel Lake’s shallow, turbid water makes it a productive fishery for panfish, bass, and pike, with walleyes also present in many similar systems. Anglers commonly work expansive weedbeds, shoreline breaks, and any slightly deeper channels with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jigs, and live bait. The low clarity lets fish remain active in shallower water through much of the day, which can be a plus for casual anglers and families. Because it is easy to reach from town, Pickerel often serves as a go‑to option when people want a quick fishing or pontoon outing without a long drive.

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.
