Fishing draws most visitors to Hiwanka Lake, a dispersed, walk-in site managed by the National Forest outside Townsend, Wisconsin. Access is the primary planning factor here: the road to the lake requires a high-clearance vehicle, and the site accommodates nothing larger than 10 feet. Campfires are permitted. Anglers wanting developed facilities nearby can consider Ada Lake NF Campground to the north, or browse campgrounds near Townsend for additional options in the area.
