Siskiwit Lake is a 285-acre lake in Bayfield County, Wisconsin with a maximum depth of 13 feet and an average depth of 8 feet. The lake has a public boat landing providing access for paddlers. The bottom composition is primarily sand (80%) with some muck (20%).
The lake features a public campground operated by the Town of Bell offering first-come, first-served sites suitable for tents and small campers up to 26 feet. Campground amenities include fire grills, a solar water pump, and restroom facilities. The daily camping fee is $20 for tents and $30 for hard-sided campers.
Paddlers can expect to find panfish, smallmouth bass, and walleye in the lake. Local guides offer paddling excursions in the area, though they focus primarily on Lake Superior trips. The lake connects to Lost Creek and provides access to explore Siskiwit Bay and the Romans Point area.
Commercial kayak vendors must pay a $100 event use fee. Lost Creek Adventures offers sit-on-top kayak rentals that can be used to explore Siskiwit Bay, Lost Creek, Romans Point, and Spirit Point, though they do not allow their rental kayaks within the National Lakeshore area.
The lake's 13-foot maximum depth and relatively protected location make it a more approachable paddling option compared to Lake Superior, which sits just to the north. The surrounding area includes Siskiwit Falls on the Siskiwit River, though this is on private property with limited access.
