This map has 8 layers
The Moen Lake Chain is a renowned five-lake system in Oneida County, Wisconsin, consisting of Moen Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake, Fourth Lake, and Fifth Lake, all interconnected by the fishable Pelican River. This exceptional chain spans over 1,100 acres of combined water surface, offering anglers and boaters the unique opportunity to navigate through multiple waterways without ever leaving their vessel. The chain features varying depths ranging from 9 to 14 feet, with Moen Lake serving as the largest and primary access point at 461 acres. The shallow, dark-water characteristics of most lakes in the chain create productive fishing environments, while Fifth Lake stands out with its moderately clear water. Water clarity ranges from low to moderate across the system, contributing to the chain's reputation as a premier fishing destination in Wisconsin's Northwoods.
The Moen Lake Chain has earned widespread recognition for its outstanding fishing opportunities, particularly for trophy Musky, along with healthy populations of Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and abundant Panfish including Bluegill, Crappie, and Perch. The chain benefits from low stocking numbers due to exceptional natural reproduction of both musky and walleye, making it a truly self-sustaining fishery. Located just minutes from the city of Rhinelander, visitors enjoy convenient access to lodging, dining, and supplies while experiencing the rustic charm of the Northwoods. Popular accommodations include Conro's Resort, Pine Valley Lodge, and Moen Lake Campground, which offers wooded camping sites with direct lake access. The shallow nature of the entire chain makes it ideal for early season ice fishing, as these lakes freeze before many deeper systems in the region. Anglers should note that special fishing regulations apply to the entire chain, with combined bag limits for all five lakes.
