Totogatic Lake Wildlife Management Area is a 1,403 acre property located in southwest Bayfield County. It includes all of the 537 acre Totogatic Lake, one of northwest Wisconsin's finest waterfowl hunting lakes. Totogatic Lake is one of Wisconsin's premier wild rice producing lakes, which also makes it a highly valuable waterfowl migratory stop-over. Rice production and harvest are monitored closely by the Department and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission and ricing may be prohibited in certain years, depending on production. Maximum lake depth is eight feet and the lake is heavily vegetated, making it susceptible to winter-kill. There is a public boat landing on the southeast shore of the lake, facilitated by a small parking area. The fishery consists mainly of small northern pike and panfish. As such, there is some fishing activity, but pressure is light. The main lake uses are waterfowl hunting and wild rice harvesting. Totogatic Lake provides excellent bird watching and other wildlife viewing opportunities. There is usually a pair of trumpeter swans nesting on the Lake each year. The upland portions of the property offer numerous wildlife recreational related opportunities since there is a good diversity of habitats and forest age classes found throughout the property. Grouse, deer and bear hunting are popular and bird watching is good along a hunter walking trail located near the boat landing.
