Lake Creek
Lake Creek is a shallow, roughly 170-acre segment of the Rhinelander Chain located only minutes from town. It functions partly as a stand-alone lake and partly as a connector between larger basins, with a mix of channels, weeds, and light current.
It sees steady local use from anglers and boaters moving through the chain, but its shallow profile keeps speeds modest. It works well for buyers who want chain connectivity close to Rhinelander without needing big, open-water acreage.

This is a summary based on available information.
As part of the Rhinelander Chain, Lake Creek holds panfish, bass, pike, walleyes, and muskies moving through the system. Anglers work current seams, channel bends, and weedlines with jigs, live bait, and small crankbaits, often treating it as a key transition zone when fish slide between larger lakes. The very shallow depths make boat control and stealth important, especially in low‑flow or bright conditions. Because it is so close to town, it’s a handy spot for short sessions, especially for shore‑near and small‑boat anglers.
