Wabikon Lake Access

Wabikon Lake is a 513-acre public access point located in Forest County near Laona, Wisconsin. The boat ramp provides launch access to this scenic lake, which features a maximum depth of 15 feet and is surrounded by forested hills and marshy shorelines. The access point is located on the north end of the lake off Potawatomi Trail near US Highway 8, making it relatively easy to find.

This lake is popular with anglers targeting musky, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish, making it a good destination for fishing-focused paddlers and boaters. The moderate size and shallow maximum depth make Wabikon Lake suitable for recreational kayaking and canoeing. Nearby Richardson Lake Campground (located about 5 miles away) offers 26 campsites and can be reserved through Recreation.gov for paddlers looking to extend their trip; contact 715-674-4481 for reservations or facility information.
