Lackawanna Lake is a named lake in Oconto County with verified water details of about 9 acres and a maximum depth of 3 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Lackawanna Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Lackawanna Lake together, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
