Welcome to Staples Lake

Where We Are: Staples Lake is a close-knit lake community in Comstock, Wisconsin, spanning both Polk and Barron Counties. With roughly 340 acres of water and a relaxed Northwoods feel, it’s a place where people come to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and stay connected season after season. Located just 1 to 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities, Staples Lake has long been a favorite getaway for families, cabin owners, and visitors.

Life Outdoors:  Fishing, hunting, boating, trail riding, and time on the water are part of everyday life here. Nearby ATV and UTV trails, snowmobiling routes, and wooded land make outdoor recreation a year-round experience. 

Beyond the Shoreline:  Life at Staples Lake extends into nearby towns like Turtle Lake and Cumberland, where you’ll find dining, shopping, entertainment, and local gathering spots — including the lakeside favorite Mixed Up Staples Lake. 

A Community at the Core:  From family cabins and year-round homes to properties within the lakeside trailer and RV community, everyone contributes to the shared life of the lake. 

Why this Site Exists:  

This site was created to celebrate that connection — to share history, highlight lake life, support community involvement, and help preserve Staples Lake for the future.
