I come here a few times over the summer for fishing, sometimes for a cook-out. Most of the time, it doesn't seem that busy, but on certain days such as Memorial Day, Father's Day, and Independence Day (4th of July) can be busy, so just keep that in mind. Sometimes it's hit or miss too.

The water is sectioned off nicely. The beach part is a decent size. There's a lot of picnic tables. A volleyball court and playground are close by. The Ice cream stand is open at certain times and has a good selection. The bathrooms and showers are well kept as well. I was very pleased with our "day vacation" - definitely recommend!

2hr. Crappie limit, fishing was very good. You just needed to work to find out color they liked most. Bite on

A great place to get a boat and get out on the water wih kids! The beach, showerhouse, and concession stand is great too! Make sure you plan in advance if you are getting a pontoon.

Questions & Answers

Is this a state park or privately owned?

From http://www.blackhawklake.com/BHLAbout.html Blackhawk Lake Recreation Area is owned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with an operational easement granted to Iowa County. The Wisconsin DNR has jurisdiction of the lake and designated wildlife areas. The Cobb-Highland Recreation Commission oversees the operations of the recreational area. This Commission consists of ten board members, five each from the Villages of Cobb and Highland. Blackhawk Lake Recreation Area is not part of the Wisconsin State Park System, and therefore, does not receive any funding from State or County tax dollars.
