Hooker Lake is a 103-acre body of water located in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 24 feet and features three public boat launches, with the main access point located on 78th Street at 241st Avenue. A daily launch fee of $9 applies, with seasonal passes available for both Wisconsin residents ($45) and non-residents ($55).

The lake's bottom is predominantly muck (99%), and the shoreline consists of both residential development and marsh areas. The lake supports populations of Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and various Panfish species. Multiple aquatic invasive species are present, including Eurasian Water-Milfoil and Zebra Mussels, so proper boat cleaning protocols should be followed.

Local ordinances require all motorized watercraft to move in a counterclockwise direction and maintain a 100-foot distance from piers and buoys. Personal watercraft must observe slow-no-wake speeds within 200 feet of the shoreline. The lake experiences significant power boat traffic during peak summer periods, particularly on weekends.

For a quieter paddling experience, weekday mornings typically offer calmer conditions. The north and west edges of the lake provide interesting marsh habitat exploration opportunities. A fishing pier accessible to wheelchairs is available on 248th Avenue, offering an alternative put-in or rest stop for paddlers.

The lake is part of the Hooker Lake Marsh Fishery Area, providing opportunities to observe various wetland birds, including sandhill cranes and blue herons. Bald eagles are occasionally spotted, with at least one significant nest documented in the area. Parking is limited at the boat launch, with space for approximately five trailers.

Nearby Richard Bong State Recreation Area and Big Foot Beach State Park offer additional outdoor recreation opportunities for paddlers looking to extend their visit to the area.
