Big Lake - Schultz

The Schultz boat ramp provides public access to Big Lake, an 827-acre lake located in Three Lakes, Oneida County. This is a publicly-owned ramp facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Big Lake reaches depths of up to 61 feet and supports a healthy fishery including musky, panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it a popular destination for both paddlers and anglers.

Paddlers should note that Big Lake's substantial size means wind conditions can create significant chop, so check the weather forecast before heading out, particularly if you're in a kayak or canoe. The lake offers plenty of room for exploration once launched. For those planning a longer trip, Laurel Lake Campground is available within 10 miles for overnight accommodations. This access point is part of Wisconsin's public boat landing system, making it a reliable option for launching your watercraft.
