Verna Lake is a 73-acre public access lake located in Woodruff, Vilas County, in Wisconsin's popular Northwoods region. The public boat landing provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this shallow to moderately-deep lake, which reaches a maximum depth of 23 feet. The calm water conditions make it suitable for paddlers of various skill levels.
The lake supports a healthy warm-water fishery with populations of musky, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. Given its modest size and public boat landing access, Verna Lake offers an accessible option for a half-day or full-day paddling outing in the Minocqua-Woodruff area. Check locally for any current access conditions, parking availability, or seasonal restrictions before your visit.
