Moose Lake's public boat ramp in Carter provides convenient access to this 4,293-acre lake in Iron County. The ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore a substantial water body. To reach the access point from Mercer, drive north on U.S. Highway 51 for 6.6 miles, then west on Moose Lake Road for 2.8 miles, north on Kaiser Road for 0.4 miles, and finally west on Moose Lake Access Road to the ramp.
The lake supports a variety of recreational activities including fishing, paddling, and canoeing. Anglers will find panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike. With a maximum depth of 61 feet, Moose Lake offers decent water volume for paddling, though paddlers should be aware of potential motorboat traffic on this larger lake. The surrounding area is accessible via National Forest roads, making it a good destination for those exploring Wisconsin's Northern Highland region.
