About Lake Winnebago

Set in Calumet County, Fond du Lac County, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, Lake Winnebago is a 137,638-acre natural lake. The surface sits about 741 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 15 ft down.

Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 04084255 (Lake Winnebago near Stockbridge, WI), about 5 mi from the middle of the lake. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

With this much open water, waves build quickly when the wind lines up with the long axis of the lake. Pick a launch on the upwind shore on breezy days and the ride home is easier.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
