Europe Lake is a lake near Gills Rock in Door County, Wisconsin. It is the northeasternmost lake in Wisconsin. The lake is mainly a shallow lowland marsh, similar to nearby Kangaroo Lake. It has a maximum depth of 10 feet. ^[1] Fish include Panfish, Smallmouth bass, Northern pike, Walleye and Perch. ^[1]

The lake was once part of Lake Michigan until a drop in Lake Michigan's water levels closed off the bay and made it a lake. ^[2]
