RV rental Yellow Lake, WI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Every fisherman like to boast about their favorite fishing hole. It has the best fish, they’ll say. Or it has the best weather conditions, the best conditions for a healthy population, or the best scenery. The fishermen who favor Yellow Lake can back their claims up. In 1979, a local teen hauled out a record-setting lake sturgeon, which weighed 179 pounds 10 ounces and was 79 inches long. Needless to say, that’s an impressive catch. In addition to lake sturgeon, anglers can expect to catch muskellunge, panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, and catfish. Though the water clarity is low due to the tannins from the upriver, it is quite clean. Yellow Lake encompasses 2,283 acres, and there’s plenty of room for fun recreational activities on the water. Racing, jet-skiing, and water skiing are popular activities as is swimming. Three public boat ramps make launching boats a simple matter. The Gandy Dancer State Trail, which passes by Yellow Lake, is a 98-mile corridor laid over old railroad tracks. Starting in St. Croix Falls, WI, Yellow Lake meanders through thick woods, passes by meadows and open farmlands, and over low-lying hills. The trail crosses into Minnesota and back into Wisconsin, terminating just south of Superior, WI.
