Willow Lake
Willow Lake is part of the greater Willow Flowage system, a shallow 6,300-acre public lake about a half hour from Minocqua with low clarity and minimal development. Its broad, open water and marshy shoreline create a big-water feel where you’re more likely to share the lake with other anglers and wildlife than with high-density cabin clusters.
It carries the same appeal—big water, fishing potential, and a semi-wilderness atmosphere. For buyers, it’s less about owning right on the shoreline and more about having a nearby big-water playground for fishing, boating, and remote-feeling day trips

This is a summary based on available information.
Willow Lake shares the Willow Flowage system’s strong reputation for walleye, musky, pike, bass, and panfish, with fish using expansive flats, channels, and flooded structure. Anglers typically key on wind-swept shorelines, current-influenced areas, and deeper cuts in otherwise shallow basins, using presentations robust enough to handle stained water and flowage cover. As with the broader flowage, success often comes to those who put in time to learn the system’s nuances and are comfortable operating in a big, relatively wild environment.
