Matthews Lake is a 267-acre lake in Washburn County offering public boat access via a dedicated ramp near Trego. The lake features clear water and a maximum depth of 26 feet, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The calm lake environment is ideal for paddlers of varying skill levels seeking a scenic paddling destination.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Largemouth Bass, and Panfish, so expect to share the water with anglers—particularly during peak seasons. The excellent water clarity makes this site attractive for recreational paddling and fishing alike. Plan your visit during calmer weather conditions, as wind exposure may affect smaller watercraft. This is a good choice for day trips and recreational paddling in northern Wisconsin.
