In the scenic beauty of northern Wisconsin, there’s a lake that’s a tranquil retreat – Lake Noquebay. It’s a Marinette County lake that’s a haven for fishing enthusiasts, boaters, and paddlers. While it’s well known in the area, it’s a destination that’s not as famous as lakes in some corners of the state. Its quiet Northwoods Wisconsin waters are well worth seeking out. Here’s why.
For anglers or beginners, Lake Noquebay is perfect. The lake is teeming with various fish species, including panfish, bass, northern pike, and walleye. Its relatively shallow and easily accessible shoreline provides opportunities for shore fishing, making it an ideal spot for anglers of all skill levels.
Boaters will enjoy Lake Noquebay's calm waters. The lake is perfect for leisurely cruises or a speedier run pulling a skier or tube. The lake's expansive surface area allows for lazy cruises, whether sailing, motorboating, or simply drifting across the serene expanse in a pontoon boat.
Kayakers and canoeists will also enjoy the tranquil allure of Lake Noquebay. The peaceful waters and picturesque surroundings create an idyllic setting for paddling adventures.
Lake Noquebay isn't just a paradise for fishing and boating enthusiasts; it's a family-friendly destination. There’s a beach and an accessible shoreline, calm waters, and picnic areas. It’s an ideal spot for families that are seeking a fun day on the water.
Convenience is key at Lake Noquebay. The lake boasts numerous public access points, including four landings, making it easy for visitors to launch their boats or set out for a day of fishing without much hassle.
There’s more to Lake Noquebay than its recreational offerings; it's also incredibly scenic – it’s a place to enjoy the simple beauty of Wisconsin lake life.
I spent an afternoon on this lake and was really impressed – it was larger than I realized (about 2,400 acres), and it’s a great lake for fun on the water.
