We study the existence of equilateral polygons in planar integer lattices. Maehara showed that it's sufficient to work with rectangular lattices $\Lambda(m) = L[(1,0),(0,\sqrt{ m})]$ with $m \equiv 3 \pmod{ 4}$. Building on results of Maehara and of Iino and Sakiyama, we show that for every such $m$ there exists $N$ such that for all $n \geq N$, the lattice $\Lambda(m)$ contains an equilateral $n$-gon. This extends previous classifications of equilateral polygons in planar lattices.
