83-acre lake near Itasca County. The lake tops out around 280 ft. The depth data here comes from a DNR lake survey. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 83 acres of water rimmed by 1.6 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 3% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Itasca County. For a second option, Greenway Pit lies 0 mi southwest.
Start shallow in spring: smallmouth bass sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 45 ft.

Throw a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig until the fish tell you otherwise.
