This striking map captures the spirit and geography of Pewaukee Lake, the largest lake in Waukesha County's "Lake Country" in Wisconsin. Encompassing 2,437 acres and with a maximum depth of 45 feet, Pewaukee Lake is known as a hot spot for anglers. The area offers a rich array of year-round outdoor activities. Historically, the lake, whose name means "lake of shells" in the Potawatomi language, has been a central gathering spot since Asa Clark built a dam and sawmill on the Pewaukee River in 1838. Today, its shoreline is dotted with public beaches, parks, and nature reserves, contributing to its reputation as a prime destination for recreation and relaxation.
