59-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (the DNR's original lake-survey map). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 59 acres of water rimmed by 2 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 80% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Lake County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Tanner, 0 mi north of here.
In spring, splake run shallow here, mostly 4 to 20 ft. Summer keeps them at 6 to 20 ft, and they winter in 4 to 20 ft. Summer splake concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 14 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) most summer days.
