Whether your passion is fishing for that tackle-challenging lunker, or some fast and furious pan-fishing for the kids, Manson Lake can provide both. There is an abundance of walleye, musky, northern, crappie, small and largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, and perch at our American plan resort.

Manson Lake is a class-A musky lake that covers about 300 acres. It is a clear, spring fed lake with numerous rock and sand bar (marked for safety), a variety of bottom compositions, and numerous weed beds. The lake has been stocked with walleye by our lake association as well as the Wisconsin DNR for many years. Small and largemouth bass fishing is terrific throughout the season. The lake has produced many trophy muskies, including the prized tiger muskies, and provide many sizable crappie.

Our resort has lake contour maps available at our office, and we are always happy to provide new guests with a tour of the lake. We also have have small fishing boats available with 8 and 15 hp motors, as well as a small pontoon available for rent.
