Emily Lake Recreation Area

Emily Lake is 31 acres in size and has a boat ramp for activities like canoeing and fishing. Boating and fishing are popular on the lake, with excellent bass and pan fish available. The campground is near the Round Lake Non-motorized area for biking and hiking, and grills, drinking water and vault toilets create an ideal atmosphere for parties and family get-togethers. The area holds many opportunities to encounter rare species of fish, wildlife and plants. Bird watching, nature study programs and viewing the vivid fall foliage are also popular activities. Nearby hunting opportunities for big game, upland game birds, waterfowl and small game exist across the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The forest covers more than 1.5 million acres of Wisconsin's Northwoods, with 800 miles of trails, five designated Wilderness areas, several semi-primitive non-motorized areas, and roughly 300 miles of designated motorized trail. Fishing for trout or other game fish is available in any of 600 lakes or 1,200 miles of stream. The sparse population and low visitor use make the wild and scenic beauty of the forest that much more enjoyable. Park Falls, located just over 20 miles away, offers historical attractions, museums and restaurants, perfect for a day trip.
