Lake Winnebago

Visiting Lake Winnebago

On the map, Lake Winnebago is centered near 44.0170, -88.4095. The deepest point on record is about 15 feet. It lies at roughly 742 feet of elevation.

The level comes from gauge 04084255, LAKE WINNEBAGO NEAR STOCKBRIDGE, WI, and carries the time it was taken. The last value stored here, 747.22 ft, is from 2026-09-09. When the pool drops, shoreline beaches grow and shallow ramps can run out of concrete.

Algae blooms are seasonal and local: look for posted signs at the ramp or park entrance. No public sensor reports water temperature at Lake Winnebago, so the panel shows air temperature and wind. Season dates vary by park; the operating agency publishes them each spring.

Nearby water includes Lake Poygan (Wisconsin, 23 mi), Green Lake (Wisconsin, 31 mi) and Puckaway Lake (Wisconsin, 42 mi). Wisconsin has 34 lakes on this site in total.

Many smaller lakes have no designated beach at all, only informal shoreline access. No named swimming beach is mapped at Lake Winnebago in the federal and state datasets this guide reads. Access is through whatever the operating agency provides on the ground, so check with them first. If you need a named beach, Terrace Beach on Green Lake is some 29 miles from here.
