Wind Pudding Lake State Natural Area

Lake Tomahawk, WI 54539

Wind Pudding Lake is a large, soft water, seepage lake with separate shallow and deep basins both of which contain unusual flora. The shallow central and southwest portions comprise most of the lake area and are dominated by a floating mat of peat with yellow-eyed grass. Submerged peat in the shallow basin supports white water-lily, bladderworts and spike-rushes. The 34-foot deep eastern basin has a sand and gravel bottom with a variety of sterile-rosette aquatics. The shoreline is predominantly upland with a second-growth paper birch and white pine forest. Birds of interest include common loon, great blue heron, and several species of ducks. Wind Pudding Lake is owned by the DNR and was designated a State Natural Area in 1983.
