Half Moon Lake

The Half Moon Lake boat ramp, located near Iron River in Bayfield County, provides public access to a 550-acre lake with a maximum depth of 60 feet. This is a solid destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking for a moderately-sized Wisconsin lake. The water is moderately clear, making it suitable for paddling and fishing.

The lake supports a good variety of fish species including panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, which may attract anglers alongside paddlers. The ramp allows easy water access for launching kayaks, canoes, and other watercraft. Given the lake's size and depth, paddlers should be prepared for potential wind and waves, especially in the deeper central areas. Check current conditions and water levels before your visit, and ensure your watercraft and safety equipment are ready for a larger lake environment.
