Pike Lake - Iron River

Located in Bayfield County, Wisconsin

This 19-acre lake in northwestern Wisconsin is nestled perfectly in the heart of canoeing, fishing, and the best comfort food in the state. Minneapolis is a three-and-a-half drive away, but for those who need city life in the more immediate area, check out Duluth, Minnesota, which is only one hour away.

Fishing and Boating

Although the lake cannot boast a large amount of area, the 23-foot depth hides a good variety of fish for fishing from the shore. This large lake offers the convenience of a public boat landing on the northeast and southwest ends of the lake and various fish like:

- Northern Pike

- Largemouth Bass

- Panfish

- Musky

- Smallmouth Bass

Be sure to observe the fishing ordinances found on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website.

Practically Perfect

Although there is no lodging directly on the lake, you can find complete comfort in Lumbermen’s Inn, a seven-minute drive from the lake, and Tri Lake Timbers Resort, 10 minutes from the lake.

Iron River (6 minutes) is the perfect place to pick up supplies if you like seclusion or for a break from the wilderness. Drink some of the region's best wine at White Winter Winery, or visit Iron River Pizza Parlor, which customers say has the best Chicago Style deep-dish in the state.

For the outdoorsy types, be sure to explore the miles of hiking and ATV trails surrounding this quaint town and take a canoe/kayak ride over the multitude of lakes and rivers in the region.
