Island Lake (3L)

Aerial view of Island Lake (3L), a 305 acre lake in Three Lakes, Wisconsin

Island Lake sits in the heart of the Three Lakes Chain and features the kind of islands, points, and irregular shoreline that define classic Northwoods scenery. Its size supports comfortable cruising and multi-species fishing while still feeling more manageable than the chain’s largest, most open basins.

Being centrally located gives owners quick access to neighboring lakes in either direction, making it a convenient home base for exploring the full system. Buyers who choose Island Lake typically want that “middle of the chain” experience with particularly scenic, island-studded water right outside their dock.

This is a summary based on available information.

Island Lake supports the full chain roster of walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish, with islands, bars, and channel edges creating textbook structure. Anglers frequently target points and saddles between islands and the mainland, where wind, current, and contour combine to concentrate fish. Weedlines around island shorelines and small mid-lake humps offer additional options, especially for walleyes and panfish during low-light periods. For cabin owners, Island Lake’s structure-rich layout means that many high-percentage spots are just a short idle away, making it easy to slip out for productive evening runs without crossing big open water.

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.
