Great place to camp!

I love it! The water is so clear, the trout fishing is great and so is the beach! They do not have showers or plumbing but if you’re desperate for a shower kwiktrip has showers!

Popular Beach Spot!

The lake is the clearest and deepest inland lake in Wisconsin. It is non-motorized to promote quiet and clean conditions.

Lake Wazee is a popular scuba diving, swimming, and fishing spot.The beach does get crowded with college kids in the summer and is a known party spot. Weekdays and off-season dates are recommended as it is more peaceful.
