Looking for public lake access? The following lakes give you options to enjoy your summer if you don’t live lakeside already!
If you want calm, aqua waters for kayaking or paddle boarding, Beaver Lake is the obvious choice. For visitors, there’s carry-in only access off of HWY 83. You’ll find most people slowly paddling around, enjoying the spring-fed water and sandy bottom. You can fish as well, but the lake is not known for its plentiful fish!
Address: County Trunk Hwy K, Hartland, WI 53029 | Although Pine Lake maintains a very private and luxurious feel- there is a public boat launch so all can enjoy its waters. There is also a yacht club that offers sailing, social events, and access to a private island on the lake.
Address: County Trunk Hwy K, Nashotah, WI 53058 | Moose Lake is a small lake situated between Okauchee, Pine and North Lake. As such, it is a secret oasis of sorts. There is a public boat landing and a club for those who enjoy ‘silent’ sports on the lake, such as swimming, fishing, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, scuba diving, and canoeing.
Address: Off HWY C Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive, Nashotah, WI 53058 |
