About This Access Site
Thompson Lake is a 401-acre lake in Oneida County with a public boat landing providing access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 30 feet and offers decent fishing opportunities for Musky, Pike, Bass, Walleye, and Panfish, though water clarity is noted as low. The ramp is located in Rhinelander near coordinates 45.63560907, -89.32602786.

This is a straightforward access point suitable for paddlers of all skill levels looking to explore a moderately-sized inland lake. Given the lake's size and depth, it can accommodate various watercraft. Visitors should be prepared for the low water visibility if planning to fish or swim. A parking area is available at the ramp, making it a convenient launch point for day trips and recreation.
