This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version

Deer Lake is a 153-acre natural lake located in Burnett County near the village of Danbury in northwestern Wisconsin, featuring a maximum depth of 23 feet and an average depth of 14 feet throughout the shallow basin. The lake features a predominantly sandy bottom composition comprising 99 percent sand with moderately clear water quality that creates excellent habitat for warmwater fish species. A public boat ramp on West Deer Lake Road provides convenient access for anglers seeking largemouth bass, northern pike, and abundant panfish including bluegill, crappie, and perch that thrive in the lake's shallow waters and shoreline vegetation. The lake is monitored for invasive species including the Chinese Mystery Snail, and anglers should follow Wisconsin DNR fishing regulations with catch-and-release bass fishing open year-round and motor trolling allowed with up to three hooks, baits, or lures per angler. With 2.5 miles of undeveloped shoreline surrounded by Burnett County's extensive forests, Deer Lake offers a peaceful, intimate fishing destination ideal for families and anglers seeking trophy bass and panfish in a tranquil northern Wisconsin setting away from heavily developed waters.

Deer Lake sits in the heart of Burnett County's vast 111,000 acres of public forest lands, positioned near Danbury and providing gateway access to some of Wisconsin's most spectacular outdoor recreation. The area is anchored by the magnificent 32,500-acre Governor Knowles State Forest stretching 55 miles along the scenic St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, offering premier paddling on the wild and scenic St. Croix River with swift rocky whitewater contrasting with placid flowages, excellent fishing for walleye, muskie, sauger, and smallmouth bass, and over 100 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling through pristine wilderness. Nearby Danbury serves as the southern terminus of the famous Gandy Dancer State Trail running 20 miles through Burnett County communities including Siren and Webster, connecting to Minnesota trail systems for extended bicycle touring adventures. The surrounding region features the Fish Lake Wildlife Area and Crex Meadow Wildlife Area providing exceptional opportunities for viewing sharp-tailed grouse, bald eagles, white-tailed deer, black bear, and diverse wetland species, while the Big Bear Lake Association maintains a 2-mile educational walking trail with interpretive signs winding through county forest lands. Winter visitors enjoy extensive groomed snowmobile trail networks connecting throughout northwestern Wisconsin, ice fishing on hundreds of pristine lakes, and cross-country skiing through silent forest corridors, while summer brings opportunities for berry picking, wildlife photography, camping at numerous county and state campgrounds, and exploring the geological formations carved by ancient glaciers that created this dramatic landscape of lakes, rivers, and forests.
