Big Arbor Vitae
Big Arbor Vitae Lake is a 1,070-acre lake north of Minocqua known for its productive fishery and convenient location. Panfish and gamefish populations are strong, supported by fertile, moderately clear water with medium-hard, alkaline characteristics.
Although several public landings make it a popular choice for locals and visitors, a significant portion of the shoreline remains undeveloped, preserving attractive wooded stretches around the lake. Its size allows boaters room to spread out despite the more social atmosphere.
Big Arbor Vitae works well for both serious fishing and family boating, offering versatility, access, and proximity to Minocqua’s shops, dining, and amenities.

This is a summary based on available information.
Creel surveys and fishing reports describe Big Arbor Vitae as a classic multi-species producer, with walleye, musky, largemouth and smallmouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and other panfish all present in good numbers. Black crappie and panfish receive heavy attention, while walleye and musky draw dedicated anglers who work key structure and weedlines across seasons. The lake’s slightly stained water and abundant structure favor presentations along weed edges, points, and mid-depth flats, with spring and fall transitions and evening bite windows often providing some of the best action.
