Review:
Sinissippi Lake is a 3,078-acre lake located not far from Hustisford in Dodge County, surrounded by rolling farmlands and hills. It is a shallow lake with a maximum depth of only 8 feet. The lake was created by impounding the Rock River in 1800s with a log dam. Agricultural runoff is causing the lake water to be too rich in nutrients and very poor in oxygen, making it hard for fish to survive. Only bullhead and carp can still be found here. It is very popular for water-skiing, and the local club Sinissippi Ski Club offers lessons every summer. There are eight scenic islands on the lake and a very popular camp on the Radloff Island, also called Campers Island, which is the largest. Bird watching around the lake is fantastic, and it is not rare to spot bald eagles, herons, sandhill cranes, and white pelicans.
