Discover Pickerel Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Formed by a mile-high glacier that gouged its way north on its retreat during the last Ice Age, about 14,000 years ago, Pickerel Lake is one of 800 glacial lakes in Langlade County, WI. A part of Pickerel Lake shares its border with neighboring Forest County, which also has an abundance of lakes. In the late 1700s, French trappers and traders established a handful of trails in Wisconsin, including one called the Pickerel Trail. It connected a settlement that would later become known as the town of PIckerel to another settlement about five miles west (later called Post Lake). Though the exact origin of the name “Pickerel” is unknown, local lore indicates it comes from a French trader.

Getting Outdoors
Bowtie-shaped Pickerel Lake is ringed by low hills that are blanketed by a mix of tall fir, oak, and maple trees. The moderate water is dark and inky. On a calm day, it’s stained blue, reflecting the bold blue sky. The dark water is a stark contrast with the vibrant green of the trees and shrubberies lining the shores. In autumn, as the crisp, cool air settles over the water, some of these trees transform, blazing red, gold and yellow before the leaves finally succumb to the cold and drifts down to the forest floor. Anglers can enjoy fishing from a boat, made easier with one of the two public boat launches or from the banks. However, they should be mindful that portions of the shore are private properties, and permission should be obtained. Fishermen can expect to catch northern pike, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. Also, close by are several streams and small rivers in which trout fishing is said to be especially good.
Camping at Pickerel Lake
Skip hotels and wake up in an RV rental surrounded by wilderness. Birds excitedly trumpet the arrival of the sun in the mornings. Bullfrogs and owls herald the coming of darkness. Stars appear in the night sky like diamonds scattered over black velvet. Though RV camping on Pickerel Lake isn’t feasible, there are several options very close by.
Exploring the Area
Many towns scattered around northern Wisconsin, though far apart, are closely knit, often rallying together in times of hardship. To foster this sense of community between remote towns, many towns will hold fairs and festivals throughout the year. It’s also a great way to find new, unknown artists, crafters, and retailers selling unusual items. Traveling to and from festivals is made painless with a rental motorhome. Wabeno, WI, in the heart of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, hosts an annual Art and Music Festival in August. Laona, WI, in turn, holds a Lumberjack Festival in October, which acknowledges the town’s logging heritage.

Lisa was timely in dropping off the van and very helpful in explaining how things work. She took the time to point out the necessary items that we would most likely have questions on and supplied a binder with instruction that we did use! She did direct us to contact her with questions but there was no need. The van worked perfectly for our 8 day trip and handled well on the Colorado switchback mountain roads!

Nathan was very courteous and patient explaining all about the trailer. We had a safe and fun time camping. We would do it again. We were disappointed that the awning did not work and the advertised Keurig was missing. Otherwise we had a great experience. Thanks Nathan.

Will's RV is in fantastic shape and very well equipped, we took it for a weekend and basically only needed to bring our clothes, food, and toiletries. Everything else was already ready to go in the RV. Will gave me a thorough walkthrough beforehand, so I was comfortable operating the RV. 4 adults slept comfortably and we used the onboard generator for A/C since we didn't have hookups where we were staying. We're very happy with our rental experience.
