King Lake is a named lake in Polk County and the best current size-and-depth record is about 53 acres and a maximum depth of 14 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, King Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
My basic approach
If we were fishing King Lake together, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
