About Chain O'Lakes - Long Lake

Between Milwaukee and Chicago

Just below the Wisconsin state border sits Long Lake. This lake is one of the fifteen lakes that comprise the 7,000-acre Chain O'Lakes waterway system. The Chain is reported to be the busiest inland recreational waterway per acre in the United States.

Considered a part of the Chicagoland tourism region, Long Lake is one of the smaller lakes in the system with a surface area of 335 acres. The depth of this lake ranges from three feet to 32 feet. Long Lake is connected to Fox Lake by a series of channels, but it is a bit more removed than some of the busier lakes in Chain O'Lakes.

Lake Recreation

Long Lake is known for its sailing and yacht club located on the lake. Don't know how to sail? No worries, the yacht club has instructors that are trained to teach everyone the ropes.

Boating, ice fishing, skiing, biking, picnicking, ice skating, jet skiing, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing, and hiking can all be enjoyed around Lake Marie. This lake truly has something for everyone.

Anglers who enjoy a peaceful day on the lake will prefer dropping a line in Long Lake over its bigger, busier neighbors. Fish in Long Lake include northern pike, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, white bass, crappy, bluegill, channel catfish, bullhead, carp, and yellow perch.

Nearby is the 840-acre Chain O'Lakes State Park. This park borders three of the Chain lakes and neighbors a 3,230-acre conservation area.

Trails for hiking and horseback riding cover the 2,450-acre park, which also offers overnight campgrounds. Hunting is permitted in a season for doves and waterfowl; there is an archery season for deer. Visitors can even have fun in the winter when there is ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing.
