Cranberry Lake

   Cranberry Lake is one of the nicer and most popular lakes on the Eagle River Chain. It is a 924 acre lake with a nice Northwoods feel to it. The lake situated far enough from town that it gets a little less traffic than some of the smaller chain lakes in town, but is still close enough to things that it is convenient. Cranberry Lake is also known to be a good fishing lake. The average depth of the lake is about 9 feet and there are a little less than 22 owners per mile of shoreline. This is one of the larger, more scenic lakes on the Eagle River Chain, positioned far enough from town to feel a touch more relaxed while still offering full access to the rest of the system. Its size and shape create long views and a mix of open basins and sheltered bays with a heavily wooded shoreline that retains a strong Northwoods feel even where homes and resorts cluster. Boat traffic is steady in peak season but generally a bit lighter than on the busiest in-town chain lakes, so it strikes a nice balance between activity and breathing room. It sits on the outer reaches of the Eagle River Chain, offering a big, wooded shoreline and a slightly more relaxed feel than the busiest in-town basins. Owners here enjoy good multi-species fishing, long views, and easier access to quieter stretches of the chain while still being able to run into town by boat or car. Buyers who choose Cranberry often want chain convenience and fishing quality but also value the slightly more removed setting and the sense of being "up the lake" from the main hub.
