While Wisconsin beaches can become packed with visitors on warm summer days, there are soft stretches of sand that you can sometimes have to all to yourself. Sackett Lake Beach is one of those places – a little beach that’s the perfect place to relax on a warm summer day. Here’s what you need to know about this quiet Wisconsin beach.
Sackett Lake Beach is located in Taylor County Wisconsin, a county with a population of about 19,000 people. It’s located in the north central part of the state, so it’s an easy escape from places like Eau Claire and Wausau.
The county isn’t as well known to tourists as some destinations in Wisconsin, and that’s part of the charm. It’s a place where you can take in wildlife and the beauty of nature without fighting crowds. It’s home to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, which offers opportunities for activities like hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, and wildlife viewing.
The beach is great for swimming, and there’s a pleasant area for picnicking that’s complete with an old fashioned water pump. Enjoy the beauty of this hidden gem!
There’s a lot to explore in this county and you’ll truly experience the great outdoors. I once ran into a big black bear while I was mountain biking in the county – it took off into the woods as soon as it saw me. Don’t forget the sunscreen, and keep the bears at a distance!
