About This Access Site
Pretty Lake is a 65-acre lake in Waukesha County with excellent water clarity, making it a scenic destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The public boat ramp features a 20-foot-wide concrete launch with a maximum depth of 11 feet at the ramp, providing reliable access even during varying water conditions. The lake itself reaches depths up to 31 feet, offering diverse paddling and fishing opportunities.

The lake supports populations of panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, making it popular with both recreational paddlers and anglers. This public access site is ideal for launching kayaks and canoes for a leisurely paddle on a relatively small, protected body of water. Visitors should expect a straightforward ramp setup suitable for hand-launching smaller craft and trailering boats.
