Cedar Lake is in Wisconsin, 30-45 minutes NE of Hudson. The only public access that I know is the boat launch on the North side, accross from the Church. Here are directions from an earlier post:

Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2003 1:52 pm Post subject: Directions to Cedar Lake

The boat launch is at the north end of the lake at the intersection of
10'th and county M; you can park across the street from the launch at
the old school house.

Directions:
From the north (Osceola WI):

O Cross into WI via the bridge to Osceola
O Take WI 35 south to East Farmington.
O Keep going south on 35 to 10 Ave. about 1/2 mi south of the
town (look for the power lines crossing the road at
the slight bend)
O Left on 10 ave., heading east to the boat launch, which is right on the corner near county M (once you know where it is, you can take M
right out of Osceola)


From the south (Stillwater):

O Take Hwy 36 to Stillwater, and take the stillwater bridge
into WI (becomes WI 35)
O Take 35 east to Somerset, cross the bridge
O Take a left by the DQ (this is 35 north)
O Take 35 north to county road H (there's a farm with 2 dark blue silos)
O right on H, heading east
O Keeping going on H, just past the junction with County CC (CC is right at the start of a S turn)
O Take a left onto 210'th, heading north (if you get to the
south end of the lake you missed the turn)
O Right on 10'th
O Head east on 10'th to the boat launch, which is right on the corner near county M.

Cedar has a nice sandy bottom all-around in most places. Shallow a ways out, too. Great on a S to SW. Your mileage on other directions may vary. And, as others have pointed out, not a lot of public access...

Theres public access at the North end off of 10th st and South end off of H. Additionally if you ask Bernie at Meisters bar ( south end) I'm sure he'd let you launch there.
Everyone is welcome to launch from Nancy and my house if you want side shore. We are best for S and S.W , but if you are comfortable sailing upwind North is good too, you just have to sail 1/2 a mile down the lake from our house ,call us 715 248 7643 for a wind report.
