Maiden Lake is located in the Town of Riverview, in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. This 278-acre drainage lake has a maximum depth of 52 feet with very clear water. Though technically a drainage lake (inlet and outlet are located off the western bay), most of the lake behaves like a (deep) seepage lake. Its bottom sediments are primarily marl/muck, sand, and rock. Residents and visitors have access to one public boat landing located on the northwest corner of the lake. A second private boat landing is located at Crystal Waters Condominiums of the far northeast end. Water enters Maiden Lake from a small tributary leading from Little Maiden Lake and leaves via a small stream leading to Camp Lake.

Maiden Lake is valued for, among other things, its healthy fishery with an excellent walleye population. This is due in large part to active participation by citizens, the MLA, and WDNR to continue stocking efforts along with habitat improvements. The lake also has an abundance of panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and perch. However, the most popular wildlife on the lake is our resident loon population. It is a full recreation lake that includes boating, sailing, and swimming. The winter months are much quieter in the north woods but ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing are popular options for the cold weather enthusiast.
