152-acre lake near Hennepin County. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1957, a decades-old survey (the DNR's original lake-survey map). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 152 acres, worked by 2.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 24% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. It sits in Hennepin County. If the bite dies, Rice is 2 mi to the east.
Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 26 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
