About this Map
Fishtrap Lake combines broad open water with islands, sheltered coves, irregular points, and a maze of wetlands and channels along portions of its shoreline. Carefully drawn bathymetric contours reveal a varied underwater landscape of deeper basins, submerged rises, shelves, and changing nearshore depths. The artful cartography carries that detail onto the surrounding land, depicting forests, wetlands, roads, individual buildings, and waterways while preserving the remote Northwoods character of this 339-acre Vilas County lake.
The surrounding landscape is particularly notable for its wild character. Large portions of the southern and southeastern shore border the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, where extensive wetlands separate Fishtrap Lake from the Manitowish River. The map also identifies canoe-access campsites along this undeveloped shoreline and notes additional paddling access within the state forest. To the north, Rush Lake and its intricate wetland channels add another layer to the water-rich landscape, making this map as much a portrait of interconnected Northwoods forests, wetlands, and waterways as it is of Fishtrap Lake itself.
