Dudley Lake

Dudley Lake in Gleason, Lincoln County offers a public boat ramp and carry-in access point for paddlers and boaters. This is a convenient launching location for exploring the lake via kayak, canoe, or motorboat. The site is publicly owned and maintained, making it a reliable access point for recreational water activities in the northern Wisconsin area.

Paddlers should be aware that Dudley Lake has a submerged stump field that presents navigation hazards, particularly for motorboats. Exercise caution when exploring the lake, especially in areas where stumps may be difficult to see. The lake's character has changed over the years due to water movement, ice action, and deterioration of previously visible obstacles. This site is best suited for calm-water paddling rather than water sports like skiing. The surrounding area is scenic and offers access to the natural beauty of the Lincoln County landscape.
