About Hemlock Lake
In the heart of Oneida County, Wisconsin, Hemlock Lake is a modest but inviting body of water spanning 38 acres.

The lake is surrounded by small towns like Woodruff, Minocqua, and Lake Tomahawk, making it accessible yet still feeling tucked away from busier areas. Hemlock Lake's natural charm is enhanced by the proximity of the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest, which adds a layer of protected wilderness around the water's edge. Visitors often appreciate the lake's quiet atmosphere and scenic beauty, which complement its fishing opportunities. Whether paddling a canoe or enjoying the calm shoreline, Hemlock Lake offers a classic Wisconsin lake experience.

Fishing Hemlock Lake
For anglers with some experience, Hemlock Lake presents a rewarding challenge with its mix of largemouth bass, panfish, and walleye. The lake's moderate size and depth create a versatile habitat where these species thrive, offering varied fishing opportunities throughout the day. Largemouth bass in particular seem to be plentiful, with reports of catching sizeable fish that keep the action lively. Panfish are abundant, making it a favorite spot for those who enjoy steady catches. Walleye add an extra layer of excitement for anglers looking to diversify their catch. The absence of motorized boats helps maintain a tranquil fishing environment, perfect for those who appreciate a quieter, more natural setting.
Ice fishing
Experienced ice anglers will find Hemlock Lake a worthwhile destination during Wisconsin's colder months. The lake freezes over reliably, allowing for ice fishing on its moderate waters. The quiet winter landscape and the chance to target species like panfish and walleye through the ice make for a peaceful and rewarding outing. Ice fishing here offers a unique way to enjoy the lake's natural surroundings when the season turns cold.
