Whitewater Lake is located within the Kettle Moraine State Forest, in Walworth County in southeastern Wisconsin, United States. Native Americans once referred to Whitewater as “Minneiska,” now the name of the local Minneiska Ski Team. In the winter the Lake is scattered with ice shanties as fisherman compete in the Lions Annual February “Fish-A-Ree.” The area is known for biking (on-road and off-road), golf, hiking, camping, hang gliding, cross-country skiing, water skiing, swimming, fishing, and boating, much of this attributable to the adjoining Kettle Moraine State Park and Natureland County Park.

Whitewater Lake is associated through a flow with Rice Lake. Fish found in Whitewater Lake include northern pike, largemouth bass, walleye and blue gill.
