Lake Keesus is a 235-acre recreational lake in Waukesha County offering a public boat ramp on the northwest side of the lake near Hillcrest Road. With a maximum depth of 42 feet and clear water conditions, the lake provides good paddling and boating opportunities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users. The ramp provides convenient access for launching kayaks, canoes, and small to medium-sized boats into this well-maintained water body.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. Given its moderate size and depth, Lake Keesus is suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels. Plan your visit by checking local conditions and weather before heading out, as the lake can be busy during peak season. The ramp is located near the village of Hartland in the northern portion of Waukesha County, making it easily accessible for day trips in the greater Milwaukee area.
