There’s a place in Wisconsin where opportunities for fun on the water seem to go on forever. In northern Wisconsin, the Eagle River Chain of Lakes is a natural treasure that beckons boaters, anglers, and paddlers. It’s the largest chain of its kind on Earth, and it’s a top Wisconsin lake getaway. I’ve spent a lot of time on the chain, and it can feel like paradise on a summer day.

The Eagle River Chain of Lakes connects to the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes, and together they represent the largest chain of inland lakes in the world.
The chain is a popular destination for outdoor recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, and other water sports. The lakes are home to a variety of fish species, including musky, walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and several kinds of panfish.
