Big Muskellunge Lake 2

Located in Boulder Junction, Vilas County, this public boat ramp provides access to Big Muskellunge Lake, an 897-acre lake with a maximum depth of 70 feet. The ramp is a developed public launch facility with a roadway leading directly to the water, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. This is one of several public access points available on the lake.

Big Muskellunge Lake is a popular fishing destination with diverse species including musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and panfish. The lake's size and depth make it suitable for various paddling activities and recreational boating. Before launching, check current wind conditions and water levels, as these can significantly affect paddling safety and difficulty on larger lakes.
