- Lake directory: public landing — No
- Lake directory: public beach — No
- Lake directory: public park — No
Each statement is bounded to its named source; absence of a record is never evidence of no access. The DNR access database may lag reality; posted signs at the landing are authoritative.

Fishing
No fish species/abundance table is published for this lake. Missing records mean unpublished, never zero fish.
Fisheries survey population estimates are published for this lake; survey estimates are historical point-in-time studies and are never compared or ranked here.
Fishing limits — 2026-2027 season: 17 normalized rows across 17 species entries. Normalized from the DNR ruleset retrieved 2026-08-04. Source text remains authoritative.

Occurrence records come from a non-exhaustive DNR inventory; a record documents presence at observation time and a missing record is never evidence of absence.
- Public-land proximity (GIS proxy, not access evidence): none mapped within 1,000 ft; nearest: Big Trade Lake - Island No 1 (Wisconsin DNR); ≈0% of shoreline buffer
- Shoreline development (landcover proxy, 2025 source): ≈16.8% developed land within 300 m, ≈2.4% impervious
- Road proximity (TIGER proxy, 2025 source): nearest local road or city street ≈0 m; ≈2.6 km of road per km² within 1 km
- Mapped critical habitat: 2 sensitive-area polygons — ≈44.2 ac (≈35.1% of lake area), partial-waterbody scope
