Neptune Lake (also called Lake Ogemaga[1][2] or Bug Lake[1] or Bass Lake[2]) is a shallow mesotrophic[3] rural lake in Oneida County in northern Wisconsin in the United States, near the intersection of U.S. Route 45 and U.S. Route 8, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Pelican Lake and 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of the small settlement of Monico. Two smaller lakes, Mars Lake and Venus Lake, are nearby.

Neptune Lake is 127 acres (0.51 km2) in area with a maximum depth of 7 feet (2.1 m).[3] Neptune Lake is used for fishing, particularly panfish,[3] with extant species including Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike,[2][3] and Bluegill.[2]
