Cable Lake is a 166-179 acre lake located near Spooner in Washburn County, Wisconsin, offering a public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. With a maximum depth of 24-43 feet, the lake provides decent depth for recreational boating. The lake supports panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers.
**Access & Directions:** The boat ramp is located off West Cable Lake Road near the town of Cable. From Cable, take West Cable Lake Road, turn right on Cable Lake Landing Road, and proceed to the launch site. This public landing provides vehicle parking and water access suitable for both hand-launched and trailer boats.
**Practical Tips:** As with all Wisconsin lakes, practice clean boat protocols before launching to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. The moderate size and depth make Cable Lake manageable for paddlers of various skill levels, though you should check current conditions before heading out.
