Peppermill Lake is a 53-acre lake located in Oxford, Adams County, offering public boat launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake features moderately clear water with a maximum depth of 12.5 feet, making it suitable for paddling across its entire surface. An unmanned boat launch is available with a small day-use fee (approximately $4 per day or $10 for a seasonal pass, managed by Jackson Township).
The lake supports a healthy fishery including Musky, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Panfish, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers. With its compact size, Peppermill Lake is ideal for day trips and casual paddling. The lake's proximity to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and Fox River National Wildlife Refuge offers paddlers opportunities to explore additional natural areas in the region. Plan your visit during daylight hours and check local conditions before launching.
