History

The lake is mainly a sport fishing lake with muskellunge and bass.[1] Recreation on this lake also includes sail racing.[2]

Native American tribes spear fish in North Twin Lake and elsewhere in Vilas county based on their federally protected treaty rights.[3][4] The spear fishing activities are often a source of friction between Native Americans and local residents.[3]
