Squash Lake
Squash Lake is one of the highest-quality lakes south of Rhinelander, known for its clear water (around 17 feet of clarity), solid depth, and relatively low public boat traffic. The more tucked-away boat launch naturally limits day use compared to nearby lakes with highway-front access.
Its quick drive to Rhinelander keeps it convenient, but the water quality and lower traffic give it a more refined, destination feel than most lakes in that corridor. For buyers looking south of town, Squash consistently ranks near the top.

This is a summary based on available information.
Squash Lake’s clear, deep water supports walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish, with good structure and water quality to grow quality fish. Anglers often work points, steep breaks, and offshore humps with jigs, rigs, and deeper‑running crankbaits, focusing on low‑light windows and windy days. The clear water rewards finesse and natural colors, especially under bright skies. Because it sees less boat traffic than some competitors, fish may be less pressured, which is appealing to serious anglers.
