Richardson Lake

Richardson Lake Campground offers a two-lane public boat ramp with a courtesy dock and paved trailer parking, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. Located on the south shore near Wabeno in Forest County, the facility includes a sandy swim beach and picnic area. The ramp provides good access to this fairly clear lake, which is popular with anglers targeting bass, northern pike, and pan fish. Note that parking accommodates a limited number of vehicles, so arrive early during busy periods.

When paddling Richardson Lake, be aware that the north shore is very shallow with significant weed growth—most fish and clearer water are found near the beaver dam. The lake offers a pleasant recreational setting with both paddling and swimming opportunities. The adjacent Richardson Lake Campground has 26 reservable campsites if you want to extend your visit. For more information or campground reservations, contact the facility at 715-674-4481.
