Deer Lake - Swiss

Located in Danbury, Wisconsin

Right in the heart of Swiss, Wisconsin, you’ll find the remote and fairly unexplored Deer Lake. This lake is the perfect place for you if you’re looking to escape from reality - you’ll be tucked away and truly experience the wildlife and nature of Wisconsin.

The closest hospital to this hidden lake is exactly 33 miles away, Indianhead Medical Center, while the nearest municipal airport is Grantsburg Municipal Airport, less than 40 miles from the lake. This lake is a good option for you if you want to be far out from town.

Life on the Water

Not much is known about this lake; however, it is a fairly big lake meaning there is most definitely fish to catch and release if you're willing. Canoeing, kayaking, and swimming would also be good activities to participate in at this lake. Be mindful of the wildlife surrounding this lake though!

What’s Nearby

Being in a far-out location, many popular attractions are a drive. The Railroads Memories Museum is about 35 miles from the lake, but the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Park is only a short 10-mile drive from Deer Lake. St. Croix is a natural reserve that offers camping, hiking on various trails, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming at the park. Great scenic views and lots of wildlife to check out are good attractions to visit in Wisconsin in general.

For restaurants, the Log Cabin Store and Eatery is a 10-minute drive from the lake truly giving one a rustic, country vibe of Wisconsin. Wildwater Bar and Grill also has a log cabin feel serving hot meals and tasty drinks. Make sure to scope out Fishbowl Bar and order yourself a Fishbowl drink for the namesake.
