Things to see:

This lake is known by two names, Whitefish Lake and Bardon Lake. This is a very clear and cold body of water. Whitefish Lake is spring fed and is managed by the Wisconsin DNR as a "two story fishery". In Whitefish Lake you will find Northern Pike, Walleye, Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass, Black Crappie, Sunfish, and lurking in the cold water depths, Rainbow and Brown Trout.

A decent boat landing is on the SW part of the lake. As for diving, start out by finding the two sunken islands NE of the public landing. These two islands come up from the bottom to a depth of 8-10ft. After you find these islands continue south. This brings you to the drop into a depth of 20-40-50-90ft. It is here you will find the trout, nice huge Rainbow and Brown Trout.
