Review:
Powers Lake is a 450-acre natural lake in southeastern Wisconsin about 40 miles from Milwaukee, and is popular for sailing, water-skiing, and swimming. Powers Lake Yacht Club is very active, organizing races and also offering training. There are two parks on the lake’s southeastern shore with municipal boat slips. The boat traffic on the lake is heavy in summer, with noisy powerboats pulling skis, tubes, and wakeboards. There are two free public boat launches for smaller boats. Fishing is good for large- and smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike bluegill, and panfish. There is an annual ice fishing tournament on the lake. The lakeshore is densely populated with a number of luxury homes.
