Riley Lake

Riley Lake is a 184-acre public access lake located in the Town of Fifield, Price County, in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest area. The lake has a maximum depth of 5 feet, making it a shallow, sheltered paddling destination suitable for kayakers and canoeists. A public boat ramp provides direct access to the lake for launching small watercraft.

The lake supports healthy populations of largemouth bass and panfish, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers. Given its shallow depth and secluded forest location, Riley Lake offers a peaceful paddling experience.

The nearby Sailor Lake Campground (about 7 miles east on Highway 70, then south on Forest Road 139) offers camping options for visitors exploring the area.
