Bear Foot Lake is a named reservoir in Sawyer County and the physical record currently shows about 19 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
Recorded fish species
The fish side of the Bear Foot Lake record is still thin; that is one of those cases where a quick dnr check is worth more than a guess, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Bear Foot Lake together, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
