About Blaisdell Lake
Blaisdell Lake in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, presents a quiet and somewhat challenging fishing destination. Covering over 340 acres, this shallow lake reaches a maximum depth just shy of 20 feet, offering ample space for those seeking a peaceful day on the water. Its setting away from nearby towns enhances the sense of solitude and natural calm. The lake's environment is shaped by its proximity to Flambeau River State Forest, which adds to the surrounding natural backdrop. While Blaisdell Lake's size and depth provide accessible waters, anglers should be prepared for dense weed growth that can affect the experience throughout much of the year.
