My favorite lake on this entire sphere!. Kentuck Lake is approximately a 950 acre lake located in…read moreboth Vilas County & Forest counties. It has a maximum depth of 40 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from 2 public boat landings. Fish include Musky, Perch, Blue Gill, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass & Walleye. The lake's water clarity is low. The lake is completely surrounded by beautiful tree covered rolling hills. Most of the shore is rocky & steep. But, a few areas have shallow & sandy beaches. The lake has some of the best fishing in Wisconsin. The lake holds a lot of natural structure. The DNR sank a line of log cribs to enhance fish habitats. The entire lake produces great fishing. I've landed 2 Musky's in a day on the lake. I've also have landed Walleye as big as 26 inches & Small Mouth Bass as long as 20" weighing 5 pounds plus. Walleye's are my only keepers, everything else I throw back. Fishing regulations are posted at each boat ramp landing, please read & adhere to these rules. Keep this awesome fishery strong. The lake is surrounded by approximately 50 lake houses, the majority are only occupied a few times a year. Traffic on the lake is slow, usually a handful of fishing boats most weekends. I've had it all to myself at times during the week. Our family lake house has been on Kentuck lake for the past 18 years. In all that time I've only seen about a dozen boats towing water skiers. We are predominately a nice & quiet fishing lake. Typical noises that can be heard are wind, water & the abundance of Bald Eagles soaring overhead. Just the way I like it!! You can get me out of the woods. But, you can't get the woods out of me!

This park has a lot of nice hiking trails. I've visited often to do day hikes and have my…read morefavorites. The Lake of the Clouds overlook has a stunning view, especially in Autumn. The Escarpment trail starts there. This trail is hilly but gives you many different views of this area from different vantage points, all with their own beauty. The Big Carp River trail is another beautiful one that is a bit longer. The Presque Isle waterfall loop is an easy short walk with beautiful scenery. I also recommend a day hike starting at the Government peak trail and turn onto the Union Spring trail to Union Spring. I hiked these out and back during peak visiting season and had the place to myself.

The group that I've gone fishing with the last couple of years have been coming here for the last…read more10-15 years. This in my second time here with this group and the new owners running it, and will be our last. One big issue was, there weren't enough boat slips for all the patrons who brought boats! When we arrived on Sunday, we had 3 boats in our party, Nick (Manager) said that there wouldn't be an issue because they were putting in more slips (piers) on Tuesday. Well, that didn't happen because of the Duck Lice and the guys got "Lake Itch." Speaking with a couple of previous resort owners, those should have been in April/May before the Duck Lice came in season. With the boat slips, fisherman gentleman's agreement, when you go out on the water, you leave your tie lines on the pier, designating your spot, when we went out for the day, we came back and someone had taken our spot. It wasn't a serious altercation but words were exchanged. Should never have gotten to that if the piers were installed. There were not enough slips for all those who brought boats. The cabins are not quite suited for 4 adults. The cabins we stayed were 2 bedrooms. One bedroom had a queen bed and the other had 2 bunk beds, one of which were built in the size of the catacombs', barely room for a full-size adult. Because of the bunks, one of our guys slept on a cot he brought. There is no AC or ceiling fans fortunately we brought our own fans. It did get warm in the cabins. The bathtubs had good pressure but a very slippery bottom. They did supply towels which were a plus, some resorts of this nature do not. Ownership requires that everything be cleaned (kitchen) and tenants will remove all bed linens and towels and place in the sacks supplied. I have stayed in quite a few hotels during the pandemic and NEVER was I required to take down my own linens. Obviously, there is lack of qualified maid staff that the renters are required to clean the kitchen. When we arrived, some of the dishes on the shelf were dirty, dirty flatware put away as well as a frying pan. The deck which these cabins shared had some soft boards which could be a safety issue as well as a railing on one side that was ready to fall over. We made note amongst ourselves to stay clear. The grills were dirty and not in the best shape. When we arrived on Sunday, the garbage and recycling were full. On Wednesday, only the recycling was taken. Wasn't until Saturday that both gondolas were emptied. On the plus side the POV store was open this year and I was impressed with the basics available for sale and at fair price...but nobody was minding the store. We wanted a couple items and had to call to get someone so we could pay. I didn't review last year because their ownership was in its infancy and there were requests by the owner that we thought were unorthodox but related to Covid. It seems like not much has changed, except last year, all the piers were in when we arrived. The guys that have been coming here for years said this was much better before when Tom owned and ran. We all agreed that this was our last stay here, not to return.

We stayed in Tomahawk, WI for an extended holiday weekend and were looking for a spot to do some…read morepaddle boarding. While there's tons of lakes in the area, not all of them are ideal for paddle boarding. Buck Lake (which is part of the Almon Recreational Area) most definitely is! They don't rent out paddle boards right at the lake, so if you don't have your own, you'll definitely have to rent one elsewhere and bring it here. We have our own, so that wasn't a problem. The Almon Recreation Area includes a paved path leading to a small beach and nice little swimming area in Buck Lake. The beach also offers a great launching point for paddle boards. The lake itself is relatively small and wake free, so, even if the beach area is busy, you can easily paddle out to serenely crowd free conditions. We went three days in a row on a holiday weekend and only ever came within shouting distance of one canoe and one paddle boat. Beyond that, we had the lake to ourselves. Just above the beach is a wooded picnic area, complete with grills, picnic tables, and bathrooms. The recreation area also includes (down a separate paved path) a pretty epic frisbee golf course that meanders through the woods as well a trail system if you're looking to take scenic hike. Leashed dogs are allowed on the trail system. No pets (leashed or otherwise) are allowed at the beach/picnic area.

I can't see camping here, unless it's during the less crowded shoulder season, just because the sites are so close together and there isn't much privacy. The beach is long, but narrow, and there is plenty of parking. From the shore, you can see the ski jump atop Pine Mountain in the distance. It's a nice place to take a break, when needed, and not to far from either end of Iron Mountain. 23/2025
