Boulder Junction

Musky Capital of the World

As the official Musky Capital of the World®, Boulder Junction has long been noted for its excellent musky fishing, but the 50+ Class A musky lakes are just one aspect of all that we have to offer. With 194 lakes within nine miles of town, we pride ourselves on offering some of the best fishing opportunities in Wisconsin. It was no accident that Sports Afield magazine recently named Boulder Junction “one of the best outdoor sports towns in America.” Whether you are a hard-core musky angler or an aspiring bass-master; a fly-fishing trout angler or a parent taking the kids out for their first fishing adventure, we’re confident you’ll be impressed by the Boulder Junction fishing experience.
