About This Access Site
Ghost Lake is a 384-acre public access point located in the Town of Spider Lake in Sawyer County, Wisconsin. The lake has a maximum depth of 12 feet and offers a scenic paddling destination within the Chequamegon National Forest. This is designated as one of Wisconsin's "Quiet Lakes," meaning no high-speed watercraft or jet skis are permitted, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a peaceful paddling experience.

The lake supports a healthy fishery with populations of musky, walleye, largemouth bass, and panfish, attracting both recreational anglers and nature enthusiasts. The surrounding Chequamegon National Forest provides beautiful forest scenery, and the area is home to a reintroduced elk population, adding to the wildlife viewing opportunities. For more information or to confirm current conditions and access details, contact the Chequamegon National Forest office at (715) 634-4821 or (715) 264-2511.
