Tall pines shade the hike-in approach to Pat Shay Lake, a dispersed site in Nicolet National Forest outside Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Lake access exists but is heavily overgrown, making it difficult to reach the water's edge. Morning trail use comes with notable bug activity, so insect protection is worth packing. Anglers, hikers, and skiers who don't mind carrying gear in will find campgrounds near Three Lakes useful for planning a broader itinerary in the area. Campfires are permitted. Bring your own water.
