Sackett Lake Recreation Area

Sackett Lake is a 60-acre lake in Taylor County near Medford, Wisconsin, offering a public boat ramp and beach access for paddlers and boaters. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 32 feet and is home to panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. **Note: No gas-powered motors are allowed on the lake**, making it ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and electric boat users seeking a quieter paddling experience.
