The Township of Turtle Lake, located in Barron County, WI, is home to the serene Lower Turtle Lake. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, this lake offers a range of activities such as jet skiing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as excellent walleye fishing and leisurely pontoon rides. The Lower Turtle Lake Association organizes social events, while the Lower Turtle Lake Management District takes care of lake management, including initiatives like invasive species remediation and shoreline restoration. With its proximity to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN, as well as Eau Claire, WI, Lower Turtle Lake is a convenient getaway for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, exciting fireworks on the 4th of July, and even the occasional sea plane sighting. Boaters must adhere to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WI DNR) regulations, including maintaining a slow, no wake speed near the shoreline and other boats. Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck with a daily bag limit of 3 walleye and 25 panfish, while a fish refuge area is protected between Upper and Lower Turtle Lake during certain times of the year.Generated from the website
