A small reservoir in north central Dunn County, Wisconsin, on the Red Cedar River at its confluence with the Hay River. A small channel divides the lake into North and South regions. The channel creates some of the narrowest parts of the lake (50 ft) and also contains the deepest part of the lake (35 ft). The average depth of the lake is 20 feet (6.1 m). The lake was created by a hydroelectric dam (about 3 miles (5 km) downstream on the Red Cedar at Cedar Falls. The lake, a popular resort and fishing spot, has a surface area of approximately 2 square miles (5 km2). It is known for the algae that bloom in the summer months. |
