By Chain
Pick the Chain of Lakes you are interested in.
1-15 mins
Go to town, grab a bite to eat, pick up some supplies and get back without wasting away your precious vacation time. You will also be far more likely to find high speed internet, good cell phone reception and natural gas in places close to town.16-30 mins
With the bigger towns like Rhinelander, Eagle River, and Minocqua you might still find high speed internet and good cell phone reception. Natural gas is less likely. Multiple trips to town for food or groceries start to eat a lot of time.31-45 mins
The ability to plan ahead is more important when it takes more than a half hour to just drive to town and back. High speed internet and natural gas are unlikely to be found. Cell phone reception may not be available.46 mins +
For those that really want to get away or who really love to plan ahead. There is no such thing as a quick trip to town for gas or groceries. High speed internet, natural gas, and cell phone reception are things you will probably have to live without.
Distance From Town - Round Trip
Important for those who want convenience and modern amenities.
Very Deep
Lakes with an average depth of 30 ft or more. The deeper the lake the cleaner the water is. Sediments can settle, once down in oxygen free water they remain settled. Fish waste and other pollutants are diluted with the higher volume of water.Deep
Lakes with an average depth of 15 to 30 ft. Lakes in this depth range are deep enough to eliminate worries of a rampant takeover of weeds. They are very clean and often have good underwater structural variance that makes for good fishing.Shallow
Lakes with an average depth of 7 to 15 ft. Lakes with these depths often have a bigger area of weeds along the shorelines and cleaner water in the deeper holes. These lakes can also be good fishing lakes.Very Shallow
Lakes with an average depth of less than 7 ft. These lakes have more weed growth and there is potential for the whole lake to be overtaken by weeds. The lower volume of water also makes the water dirtier by nature.
