Benet Lake is a 110-acre body of water in Kenosha County, Wisconsin with a maximum depth of 24 feet. The lake connects to Lake Shangrila, creating opportunities for an extended paddling experience between the two waterbodies. A public boat landing off 121st Street provides primary access to the water.

The shoreline offers a diverse mix of landscapes, including residential areas, forested sections, and open fields. Numerous quiet coves provide interesting areas to explore, particularly for paddlers seeking calmer waters or more secluded spots. The combined Benet Lake and Lake Shangrila paddle route makes for an engaging tour of approximately 5.6 miles.

The lake's water clarity is low, and aquatic vegetation includes invasive species such as Curly-Leaf Pondweed and Eurasian Water-Milfoil. Paddlers should be aware of these conditions when planning their trips, as dense vegetation can affect navigation in certain areas.

Both motorized and non-motorized boats share the lake, so paddlers should maintain awareness of other water traffic. The lake system supports various fish species, which means anglers may be present along the shoreline and in boats.

The combination of developed and natural shoreline creates a suburban-rural paddling experience typical of southeastern Wisconsin lakes. Paddlers can expect a mix of residential views and natural scenery, with opportunities to observe local wildlife in the less developed sections and quiet coves.

A boat landing provides basic access facilities, but paddlers should bring all necessary gear and supplies, as amenities at the launch site are limited.
