Castle Rock Lake, Wisconsin
Castle Rock Lake is Wisconsin’s 4th OR 5th largest body of water (13,955 Acres or 16,640), created by Wisconsin River Power Company in the 1940s by building a Hydroelectric Dam. Castle Rock Lake is also known as Castle Rock flowage. It has plenty of fine waterfront real estate around both Buckhorn State Park in Juneau County and Castle Rock County Park in Adams County which is one of Central Wisconsin’s most popular parks. Just north of Castle Rock Lake is Petenwell Lake which is WI’s 2nd largest lake. Petenwell Dam controls the water level and separates the 2 bodies of water. Theses two lakes, along with the Wisconsin River separate Adams County & Juneau Cty. Today Castle Rock Lake is one of Central Wisconsin’s biggest attractions along with Wisconsin Dells, which is only about 30 minutes directly south.
