About Whitefish (Bardon) Lake
Compared to most other lakes in northwestern Wisconsin, 832-acre Whitefish (Bardon) Lake is different in two ways. First, although a number of fine homes have been built on the lake, special shoreland zoning ordinances have done much to preserve the lake's natural and scenic beauty. The lake is wild enough, in fact, so that eagles and loons are spotted frequently. Second, the lake is deep, cold, and clear. According to the DNR, it has a maximum depth of 102' and a mean depth of 30'. Over 60% of the lake is deeper than 20', and less than 4% is less than 3' deep. Secchi disk readings average 22 to 23'. The littoral bottom is over 95% sand; most of the remainder is rock rubble. The lake boasts an unusual two-story fishery, with warm-water species in shallow areas and trout in the depths. In recent years, the lake has yielded a number of trophy-class pike, walleye, largemouth, smallmouth, and trout (both brown and rainbow). The lake also contains bluegills, rock bass, perch, white suckers, and creek chubs.
Conveniently located. Spooner, Hayward, and Superior are all within 40 minutes. It's an easy 45-minute commute to Duluth, and it's just 2.5 hours to the Twin Cities, or 1.5 hours to Eau Claire. You'll find small public airfields at Solon Springs, Hayward, Spooner, Shell Lake, and Superior.
