50 Best Lakes in Northern Wisconsin


   Below is a list of my 50 favorite Northern Wisconsin Lakes. These are the lakes that have grown on me over the years and have reputations of being quality lakes. It was hard to narrow the list down and I most definitely left off a ton of really high quality lakes, so don't take this as gospel, it is just my opinion. I used to have the lanks ranked in order, but I realized the whole list is filled with excellent lakes of all shapes and sizes in quite a few different locations. With buyers having different criteria, I decided to randomize the list every 24 hours so each lake gets a turn being featured at the top. Feel free to contact me to see which lake may best suit your needs. Or, you can use my Lake Search and do your own exploring. The buttons below will take you to my 'All Lakes' page or my 'GoldBar Lakes' page, which is a longer list of lakes I really like. Get started by clicking on a lake name to view that lake's current listings. Happy Browsing.
