Lake Wissota, Reservoir in Chippewa County, United States.
Lake Wissota extends over 6,024 acres with a maximum depth of 72 feet, featuring two distinct sections divided by a residential peninsula.
The Wisconsin-Minnesota Light and Power Company completed the Wissota Hydroelectric Dam in 1917, creating this water body for power generation purposes.
The reservoir supports local fishing traditions with multiple species including muskie, northern pike, and panfish throughout different seasons.
Several boat launches and access points surround the lake, while Lake Wissota State Park provides camping facilities and hiking trails.
Engineer Louis G. Arnold created the name Wissota by combining elements from the words Wisconsin and Minnesota.
