Tomahawk Lake
Tomahawk Lake, widely known as the “King of Lakes,” is one of the true flagship lakes of Northern Wisconsin. At over 3,400 acres with an average depth around 33 feet and clarity near 20 feet, it delivers a true big-water experience on the Minocqua Chain.
More than 30 miles of shoreline stretch between Minocqua and the town of Lake Tomahawk, blending estate-level homes, classic resorts, and large blocks of state land that keep portions of the lake feeling surprisingly wild. With roughly 8 acres of water per owner, the scale and spacing are part of what elevate it above many chain competitors.
Owners get the full package: expansive boating water, strong multi-species fishing, boat-up dining in Lake Tomahawk, quick access to Minocqua, and enough size to handle summer traffic without feeling confined. For buyers who want top-tier chain water with real presence and reputation, Tomahawk consistently ranks near the top of the list.
