Bass Lake is an unincorporated town (civil township) in Sawyer County, northwestern Wisconsin, sitting roughly six miles southeast of the county seat of Hayward and holding some of the region's marquee lakes, including 3,176-acre Grindstone Lake. It is a Northwoods lake-country community whose identity is fishing, water recreation, and trails, and it contains the census-designated place of Little Round Lake and the unincorporated community of Northwoods Beach. The town is governed by an elected Town Board chaired by Justin Hall, with Tammy Brown as Clerk/Treasurer, meeting the second Monday of each month at the Town Hall, and its official .gov site is basslakewi.gov. Children attend the Hayward Community School District, and everyday services (hospital, library, chamber, newspaper, airport) are anchored in nearby Hayward. Note: this environment could not reach census.gov primary endpoints, so 2020 decennial, ACS, and land-area figures are flagged rather than asserted as primary.
