Swimming on Big Blake Lake is wonderful. Swim either from shore or from the dock. The entry is gradual and sandy.

Big Blake Lake is a fantastic fishing lake! There's great fishing right off the docks, along with many favorite spots around the lake. Large musky, northerns, large and smallmouth bass, panfish, walleye, and more are found in the lake.
Please note- Big Blake Lake seems to be a favorite among the DNR. Please only fish with a fishing license, and be certain when boating to follow all of the DNR boating laws. http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/boat

Feel free to bring your own boat. There's plenty of room at the dock for 1-2 boats. If bringing more than one, please let us know in advance.
Please be courteous and safe drivers when on the lake. Please know the laws about how far to stay away from the shoreline and other boats.
Please note: The DNR is often a visitor to Big Blake Lake. Please make certain that you know the boating laws for Wisconsin.
