About This Access Site
Dead Pike Lake is a 309-acre lake in Manitowish Waters, Vilas County, offering public boat ramp access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The lake features a gravel ramp suitable for launching various watercraft. With a maximum depth of 80 feet and moderately clear water, the lake provides good conditions for paddling and exploration across its substantial surface area.
Paddlers should be prepared for a lake environment with varying depths and note that the lake supports a healthy fishery including Northern Pike, Musky, Walleye, Bass, and Panfish—meaning you may encounter anglers and fishing activity. The mean depth of 26 feet and clear water visibility make this a suitable destination for recreational paddling, though weather and wind exposure typical of larger lakes should be considered when planning your trip.
