About This Access Site
Durphee Lake is a 198-acre public access lake located in Hayward, Sawyer County, offering a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. With a maximum depth of 16 feet, the lake provides moderate paddling conditions suitable for recreational watercraft of various types. The public boat landing serves as the primary access point for launching onto the water.
