Smoky Lake
Smoky Lake is a deep, clear 212-acre lake straddling the Wisconsin–Michigan border with a distinctly up-north, semi-wilderness feel. Limited development and forested shoreline give it strong visual appeal and a quieter atmosphere.
While its longer drive limits mainstream demand, its water quality and unique cross-border setting keep it positioned as a respectable mid-level lake for buyers seeking a more secluded destination feel.

This is a summary based on available information.
Fishing sources highlight panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and trout in Smoky Lake, with very clear water that can both help and challenge anglers. Trout and smallmouths often relate to deeper, colder water and rocky structure, while panfish and largemouths use weedlines, drop‑offs, and shoreline cover. The clarity usually calls for light line, natural colors, and a focus on early, late, and windy periods, when fish move shallower and are less wary of presentations. For cabin owners, Smoky offers a more technical but rewarding fishery where you can chase trout and bass in postcard‑quality water, then spend afternoons simply cruising and enjoying the scenery.
