Long Lake (P)

View of Long Lake (P), the 872 acre lake in Eagle River, Wisconsin
   Long Lake is located just a little bit outside of Phelps and about a half hour from Eagle River. Long Lake is almost 900 acres and it connects to Big Sand Lake which is about 1400 acres. The isolated location of the lake makes it a quiet lake. In addition to being quiet, the lake has deep (30 ft avg) clear (12 ft clarity) water and a variety of fish. There are about 17 owners per mile of shoreline. Long Lake is one of the marquee waters on the Three Lakes Chain, technically south of Eagle River but still very relevant for buyers considering the broader chain region. It is a big, elongated lake with a varied shoreline that mixes open basins, coves, and peninsulas, making it fun to explore by boat or kayak. The shoreline has a blend of year-round homes, classic cabins, and resorts, giving it an active but still Northwoods-framed feel, especially in summer. It offers a long, irregular shoreline with coves, points, and open stretches that are fun to explore by boat or kayak. It gives owners chain-style variety and multi-species fishing while keeping them within reach of both Eagle River and Three Lakes amenities. Buyers who choose Long Lake often want chain boating, a pretty shoreline, and good fishing while still being within a reasonable drive of both Eagle River and Three Lakes amenities.

This is a summary based on available information.

Chain‑wide reports describe Long Lake as offering strong opportunities for walleye, bass, panfish, pike, and muskies, similar to the Eagle River lakes but with its own set of structure and weedlines. Weed edges, humps, and necked‑down areas where current moves between basins are common targets, especially in low‑light windows. During peak summer, deep weeds and points in 8–12 feet often hold walleyes and larger pike, while panfish and largemouths use shallower weeds and docks for shade and cover. For owners, Long Lake’s combination of chain connectivity and diverse structure makes it a lake where you can stay busy all season without feeling like you have to leave to find a fresh bite.
