McCaslin Lake is a shallow 7 4-acre lake located in northwestern Marinette County. The lake is moderately developed with 29 cottages and homes located on the shoreline. The property owners of McCaslin Lake have a long history of working to protect and improve their lake, including the formation of a Lake District in 1980. The District contracted with the Marinette County Land & Water Conservation Department (L WCD) in 1995 to produce a comprehensive Lake Management Plan. The purpose of this plan is to explore lake management options and assist the McCaslin Lake District in future management decisions.
