Birch Lake (M)

Aerial view of Birch Lake (M), a 198 acre lake in Minocqua, Wisconsin
   Birch Lake is a shallow 198-acre public lake that's a 48-minute round trip drive from Minocqua with moderately clear water. Its modest size and off-highway setting keep it quieter than headline waters, making it a straightforward choice for owners and renters who want simple fishing, paddling, and swimming days without heavy boat traffic. The shoreline is developed but not densely packed, helping preserve a relaxed, small-lake atmosphere. Its smaller size and off-the-main-drag location help keep boat traffic modest, making it a practical choice for buyers and renters who prioritize a quieter, more relaxed lake experience that works especially well for simple fishing, paddling, and swimming days rather than high-speed big-water boating.
