Thunder Lake (3L)
Thunder Lake is a very shallow, 1,768-acre public lake west of Three Lakes, offering a huge footprint of water with very low clarity and a more marshy, open feel. Despite its size, it feels more like a sprawling, stump- and weed-filled fishery than a classic deep Northwoods lake, which keeps heavy cruising and high-speed use somewhat in check.
Its size is appealing, but the character leans heavily toward rustic, fish-focused use rather than clear-water recreation.

This is a summary based on available information.
Very shallow, low-clarity lakes like Thunder often excel for panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, with fish feeding comfortably in just a few feet of water. Weedbeds, stumps, and channels through the shallow flats provide natural ambush cover, and anglers often cover water with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and topwaters. Because the water is stained, fish remain catchable in shallow zones even under bright sun, though early and late periods still produce some of the best action. For cabin owners, Thunder offers a big, forgiving action lake where simple techniques and time on the water usually translate into consistent bites for family and guests.
