Review & FAQ:

Green Lake, also called Big Green Lake, is the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin. This natural lake is also one of the oldest resort communities in the state. The spring-fed lake’s maximum depth is 239 feet and its water is exceptionally clean, with plentiful algae and many species of fish that require oxygen-rich water, such as walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike, muskie, crappie, bluegill, and lake sturgeon. The clear water of the lake makes it very popular for scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, and kayaking. Nearby Horicon National Park is great for hiking and bird watching. Once the lake is frozen, many ice fishermen come to drop their lines.
