Little Lake has a surface area of 41 acres (0.17 km2) and a max depth of 6 ft (1.8 m).[2] Most of the lake is shallow and has a bottom that is muck. Although the northwest corner of the lake is only 250 ft (76 m) from Lake Michigan, the lake is spring fed. It is a recursive lake, due to it being a lake on an island. The shore around the lake is partially owned by the Door County Land Trust.[3] This area is designated as a Wisconsin State Natural Area by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.[4]
