Pike Lake

Pike Lake in Marathon County offers a public boat ramp providing access to a 159-acre lake located on the west shore off County Road H and Pike Lake Road near Hatley. This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore a moderately-sized freshwater lake in the area.

The lake supports a healthy fishery including panfish, bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. With a maximum depth of 45 feet, Pike Lake offers varied water conditions suitable for different skill levels. Paddlers should be prepared for typical Wisconsin lake conditions, including potential wind exposure on larger water bodies. The public boat landing provides a convenient entry point for launching kayaks and canoes, though paddlers should arrive early during peak season to ensure parking and launch availability.
