Townline Lake (3L)

Aerial view of Townline Lake (3L), a 152 acre lake in Three Lakes, Wisconsin

Townline Lake north of Three Lakes connects directly to Planting Ground Lake via a channel on its northeast corner, giving it valuable access to the Three Lakes Chain.

While the main basin feels smaller and more neighborhood-oriented, the ability to slip into Planting Ground elevates its appeal beyond a typical standalone lake.

This is a summary based on available information.

Townline shares the chain’s fish community—walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish—but its smaller, quieter basin makes panfish and bass particularly approachable. Weedlines, docks, and channel edges are key spots, and many anglers make a few passes here at the beginning or end of a day spent on Planting Ground. Walleyes and pike use the deeper cuts and channel routes between the lakes, while panfish and largemouths gather in bays and along inside weed turns. For cabin owners, Townline functions as a convenient, close-to-home fishery that pairs naturally with Planting Ground’s big-water options.

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.
