Spectacle Lake
Spectacle Lake is a moderately deep, clear-water lake located within National Forest land east of Eagle River. Its unique shape creates an unusually long and interesting shoreline for its size.
Limited development and public-lands surroundings give it a quiet, semi-remote character. It appeals to buyers who value scenery and paddling in a more natural setting rather than chain activity or name recognition.

This is a summary based on available information.
Clear, deep lakes like Sparkling often hold quality smallmouth bass, panfish, pike, and sometimes trout or walleye depending on management. Fish commonly use drop-offs, rock structure, and weed edges in mid to deeper water, and the clarity calls for subtle presentations and low-light timing. Anglers frequently focus on early and late in the day or windy periods, working 10–20 foot edges with finesse plastics, jigs, and live bait rigs. For cabin owners, Sparkling Lake offers a more technical but rewarding fishery paired with some of the best swimming and water color in the area.
