The St. Germain area offers more than 1300 lakes.
Below we have have listed only a few in the immediate area.
 

Big St. Germain Lake: 1,463 acres/maximum depth of 35 feet is listed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as one of the ten best fishing lakes in the state. It has a large yield of walleye and a very good musky and northern population. There is a beautiful sand bottom and the shoreline has a gentle slope which makes it ideal for swimming, water-skiing, sail boating and skin diving. Big St. Germain Lake is connected with Lake Content and Fawn Lake.

Dam Lake: 764 acres/maximum depth of 32 feet is located east of Highway O, north of Highway D and is part of the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes. All types of fish are present; however, the fish management programs have focused on stocking musky and walleye. The state rates Dam Lake as a class "A" lake for musky.

Fawn Lake: 22 acres/maximum depth of 10 feet has a fish population of musky, northern, walleye, and bass.

Finley Lake: 107 acres/maximum depth of 26 feet is a crystal clear, spring-fed lake where large mouth bass are common and small mouth bass are
abundant.

Found Lake: 326 acres/maximum depth of 20 feet is a clear, spring-fed lake draining into Lost Lake through a small outlet at the northwest corner. It has one small island. Found Lake is noted for its fine musky and walleye fishing. It also has pan fish, and although it is not listed as populated with northern, some very nice catches have been taken in the last few years.

Lake Content: 244 acres/maximum depth of 14 feet is a very good lake for fishing northern pike and pan fish. There are also walleye and bass here. Lake Content is connected to Big St. Germain Lake.

Little Arbor Vitae Lake: 540 acres/maximum depth of 32 feet is located west of St. Germain on Highway 70. It is mainly known as a fishing lake, especially for walleye and musky. It has seven miles of shoreline, two-thirds of which is state-owned. The lake, with a partly sandy bottom, has a public boat landing on Highway 70.

Little St. Germain Lake: 956 acres/maximum depth of 56 feet is made up of a number of bays. Its unusual shape creates the longest shoreline of all lakes in St. Germain and makes the lake on of the safest in the state. No matter what the wind conditions, quiet areas are always available and the variety of depths and bottoms with gravel bars, sand bars, weed beds, musky, northern, walleye, bass, and pan fish. An unusual feature of this lake is muskellunge fishing. Unlike other lakes where they are found only in certain spots, it is not uncommon to raise this fish almost any place on the lake.

Lost Lake: 541 acres/maximum depth of 25 feet is populated with musky, northern, walleye, bass, and pan fish. The name of this lake always causes speculation. One version of the naming involves two Indians that were confused as to their whereabouts while hunting in the area. Folklore credits the Indians, who were directed to their campsite by lumber surveyors, with the following quote: "Indian not lost. Lake lost." From this quote, the surveyors named the lake where they encountered the Indians' "Lost Lake " and the lake on which they were camping, "Found Lake."

Pickerel Lake: 735 acres/maximum depth of 17 feet lies in the northern part of Oneida County. Water exits from the lake by dam control either directly into the Rainbow Flowage, or at times when the flowage is higher, is by-passed into Dog Lake , Gilmore Lake, and into the Wisconsin River. Pickerel Lake contains musky, northern, walleye, bass, and pan fish.

Plum Lake: A lake of clear, clean water harboring all the typical northern fish. Plum Lake has great structure with depths up to 70 feet and is seven miles in length, two miles in width. Dotted with three islands, it is a picturesque and historically interesting body of water.
