Lone Tree Lake
About Lone Tree Lake
Vilas County in northern Wisconsin features Lone Tree Lake, a modestly sized body of water covering around 130 acres. The lake's shallow nature, with a maximum depth of just 16 feet, creates an accessible environment for paddlers and anglers alike. Its location near the towns of Sayner and Boulder Junction offers a quiet retreat surrounded by natural beauty. Lone Tree Lake is framed by the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest, adding to the scenic and tranquil setting. This lake's gentle depth encourages a peaceful experience, ideal for those seeking calm waters and a connection with nature. The shallow waters also support a variety of fish species, making it a worthwhile destination for local anglers. The lake’s accessibility is shaped by the need to use electric motors or manual boats, as the boat ramp is currently blocked, emphasizing a more intimate and low-impact outdoor experience.

Fishing Lone Tree Lake
Variety in fish species makes Lone Tree Lake an interesting spot for anglers who enjoy bass and panfish. The lake supports largemouth and smallmouth bass, both known for providing exciting fights on light tackle. Panfish add to the diversity, offering opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. While not a large lake, the shallow waters allow for productive fishing on good days. Largemouth bass tend to be well-sized, providing rewarding catches. The presence of walleye, though less abundant, adds an extra layer of challenge for those looking to target different species.
Ice fishing
Seasonal ice fishing is a popular activity on Lone Tree Lake, with the lake freezing over in winter months. Anglers can enjoy the quiet and stillness that comes with fishing through the ice, targeting species like bass and panfish that remain active under the ice. This seasonal pastime offers a unique way to connect with the lake during colder weather.
