Castle Rock Lake and Petenwell Lakes are located in Adams County. This is a
fantastic recreational area with numerous public launch sites, excellent fishing as well
as many other outdoor activities. Castle Rock Lake is Wisconsin's fourth largest lake.
It covers sixteen thousand acres, and has approximately sixty miles of shoreline. The
lake's depth ranges from 8 to 20 feet in most places, with some areas as deep as 30
feet. The structure created from the river beds makes Castle Rock a very productive
and consistent fishing lake. The lake is abundant with walleye, white bass, and crappie
and there are also healthy populations of northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth
bass and panfish.
Lake Petenwell is Wisconsin's second largest lake with 23,040 acres and a maximum
depth of 42 feet. The lake offers excellent walleye fishing along with bass, panfish and
many other species. Petenwell Lake is also producing significant catches of musky.
Most of the lake shoreline is controlled by the Wisconsin River Power Company and will
remain the way it is. The lots that are available have a 100 foot setback providing a
more natural look for the lake. This sand bottom lake is great for swimming, sailing,
boating and fishing. Because of the lake's size, there is plenty of room on the water for
pleasure boaters and fishing boats.
