Pacwawong Lake is a 148-acre body of water located in Sawyer County, Wisconsin. The lake's most distinctive characteristic is its shallow depth, with a maximum depth of only 6 feet. A public boat landing provides access for paddlers and other watercraft.

The lake bottom consists of a diverse mixture of sand, gravel, rock, and muck, creating varied aquatic habitats. While primarily known for fishing, the shallow waters can be suitable for careful paddling exploration. The lake supports a diverse fish population including musky, panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, which may provide wildlife viewing opportunities for paddlers.

Before launching, paddlers should check the public boat landing for posted signs regarding local watercraft regulations, as these may be more restrictive than state laws. Wisconsin state boating regulations apply to all watercraft on Pacwawong Lake, and it's essential to review these before your first visit.

The lake's shallow nature warrants extra attention to water levels and bottom conditions, particularly for paddlers unfamiliar with the area. A review of Wisconsin boating regulations at the Department of Natural Resources website is recommended before your visit.

Note that specific local ordinances may exist that aren't listed in general databases, so always check posted notices at the boat landing for the most current regulations. For additional information about conditions or regulations, contact the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
