Whitefish Lake (3L)

View of Whitefish Lake (3L), the 199 acre lake in Three Lakes, Wisconsin

Whitefish Lake sits in the National Forest on the edge of the Three Lakes Chain, offering full chain connectivity in a noticeably quieter and more wooded setting than the central hub lakes.

It appeals to buyers who want the option to boat the entire chain but prefer to live on a lake that feels tucked into the forest rather than in the middle of the traffic. For many, it represents one of the better balance points on the Three Lakes side.

This is a summary based on available information.

Whitefish Lake’s clear, deep water supports a healthy mix of panfish, bass, pike, and likely walleyes, with fish using structure and weeds around limited access points. Because pressure is low and access is restricted, fish can be less conditioned than on open‑access lakes, though clear water still calls for subtle presentations. Anglers focus on points, breaks, and weedlines with natural‑colored jigs, rigs, and crankbaits, timing trips around low‑light windows. For homeowners, the combination of privacy, quiet water, and solid fishing is a major draw.

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.
