Buckskin Lake

Aerial view of Buckskin Lake, a 634 acre lake in Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin

Buckskin Lake is a 634-acre public, spring-fed lake located about 14 minutes from Lac du Flambeau. Its shallow profile and tannin-influenced water create extensive vegetation and strong warmwater habitat.

The broad, open basin favors pontoons, fishing boats, and relaxed cruising over high-speed watersports. Anglers appreciate the weed-rich structure, and families often find the forgiving depth and layout easy to navigate.

Buckskin appeals to buyers who want a large lake footprint close to town, with practical fishing and comfortable day-to-day boating rather than deep-water performance recreation.

This is a summary based on available information.

Shallow, stained, spring‑influenced lakes like Buckskin usually provide strong action for panfish, bass, and pike, with walleyes present in many cases. Anglers often work weedbeds, channels, and subtle depth changes with spinnerbaits, jigs, and shallow‑running crankbaits that show profile in low‑visibility water. Fish can remain active in relatively shallow zones throughout the day thanks to limited light penetration. It’s a good choice for casual anglers and families who enjoy steady bites and forgiving depths.

I had AI give me the coordinates for the launches I had on file. They are not super accurate, but should give a rough idea of where you can find the landings. If no coordinates were available at all I didn't link to the map.
