Gilbert Lake

Gilbert Lake is a 139-acre lake in Waushara County, Wisconsin, offering public boat access via a dedicated boat landing near Wild Rose. The lake features excellent water clarity and a maximum depth of 65 feet, making it suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating. The relatively large size and good visibility provide a pleasant paddling environment for various skill levels.

This access point is ideal for anglers and recreational paddlers targeting panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. The public boat landing provides convenient entry to the water, though visitors should contact local authorities or the Waushara County Parks Department for specific information about parking, any access fees, seasonal restrictions, and current facility amenities. The clear water and diverse fish populations make Gilbert Lake a solid choice for a day of paddling or fishing in central Wisconsin.
