Poygan Lake, otherwise known as Lake Poygan, is located in eastern Wisconsin. Conveniently situated an hour southwest of Green Bay and an hour and a half northwest of Milwaukee, Poygan Lake offers seclusion in nature without sacrificing easy access to some amazing metropolitan areas. The Wolf River is the major inlet and outlet of Poygan Lake. Poygan Lake is in fact a spot where the Wolf River dramatically widens before continuing south past the village of Winneconne. To the north, Partridge Lake and Partridge Crop Lake are accessible from Poygan Lake. Boaters can traverse southward from Poygan Lake to Lake Butte Des Morts, south of Winneconne, and then onto the beautiful waters of Lake Winnebago. This interconnected system of waterways is known as the Winnebago Pool in its entirety. Poygan Lake itself is rather shallow, with an average depth of six feet. Its maximum depth is eleven feet. Spanning over 14,000 acres, the eastern third of the lake is commonly referred to as Lake Winneconne by locals and seasoned travelers.
Thousands of years ago, glacier shaped the lakes and hills of this extraordinary region. Left behind in the wake of the Labrador Ice Sheet some 10,000 years ago, Poygan Lake has always been a relatively shallow body of water in north central Wisconsin. Poygan Lake and its surrounding region was once home to the Menomonee Indians who utilized the wild rice fields that flourished in Poygan Lake's shallow waters. In fact, the Menomonee's were actually known as the 'People of the Wild Rice.' In the mid-1800's, several dams were constructed, raising the water levels to increase the ability to navigate the Winnebago Pool as a whole. The higher waters allowed fish into previously protected areas, where they decimated the wild rice fields. Poygan Lake total is home to excellent fishing, scenic beauty and, of course, lakeshore living at its finest.
As any knowledgeable angler will tell you, Poygan Lake is an excellent spot for walleye, freshwater drum, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, catfish, perch and bluegill.

Some of these incredible creatures even reach a weight of over 100 pounds. Spear fishing for lake sturgeon is an age old tradition of north central Wisconsin. While spear fishing for sturgeon is permitted every February on nearby Lake Winnebago, Poygan Lake's rules are a bit more restrictive, only allowing spear fishing during certain years, so be sure to check the restrictions before making your plans. Ice fishing is a particularly popular pastime here on Poygan Lake during the cold icy months of winter.
