435 Acres of Beauty, Serenity and Fun in Northern Wisconsin!

Something for you . . .

Located in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Forest County, Roberts Lake offers something for everyone. With a maximum depth of 31 feet, and an average depth of 17 feet, the lake provides a variety of leisure and water activities.

And you . . .

Recreational fishing nets musky, walleye pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and northern pike; along with a variety of panfish, depending on the season. (Anglers are encouraged to catch and keep largemouth bass and northern pike rather than catch and release. Also feel free to keep your limit of bluegill and sunfish!)

And you!

Kayaks and paddle boats, along with the occasional sailboat, skim the water. Swimmers and water skiers enjoy the clear water of this spring fed lake (waterski/jet ski hours 10:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m.). Cross country skiers and snowmobilers brave the elements, making trails across the snow and ice in winter. Many enjoy ice fishing in the winter months.
