Whitewater Lake

Welcome to Whitewater Lake

Sophisticated waterfront living in the heart of Lake Country
 
 
Whether you enjoy fishing or boating, Whitewater Lake is the quintessential lakeside getaway. While it's lesser known than nearby Geneva Lake, Whitewater Lake is a beautiful, tranquil community ideal for recreational water sports, including kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and pontooning. Compared to many nearby lakes, the 625-acre Whitewater Lake has lower visibility, making it ideal for fishing for walleye, panfish, bluegills, largemouth bass, and northern pike.

Whitewater Lake is located near Whitewater, a small town known for one of Wisconsin's best universities, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. With all of the amenities of a college town and one of the area's best recreational lakes, Whitewater Lake is an outdoor lover's paradise.

Local Lifestyle

Like many lakefront communities, Whitewater Lake is renowned for its easy access to outdoor recreational activities near campgrounds and state forests. While nearby Geneva Lake is known for its high-end resorts and restaurants, Whitewater Lake has a laidback, small-town feel, thanks to the university.

Whitewater Lake has a variety of luxurious waterfront homes, with plenty of water frontage and easy access to the water. It is an active community year-round due to its ideal fishing conditions and proximity to the college campus. For those who love ice fishing just as much as traditional fishing, there's no better fishing destination than Whitewater Lake.
