Our lake is located in west central Minnesota on the Horseshoe Chain of Lakes, but isn’t conveniently connected to them. Just seven miles south of Richmond and four miles north of Eden Valley, MN.
In 1967 there were only nine homes/cabins on this quaint and secluded lake. Today, there are over one hundred, with many permanent year-round residents.
The charm of our lake is simple . . . relaxing and quiet.
Our little lake is 325 acres of fun and solitude. In the summer you will find residents swimming, fishing, water skiing, and just relaxing cruisin’ the waters. In the winter you might even find a few fish houses on the lake for those die-hard ice fishermen. The lake has a diverse fish population of sunnies, crappies, largemouth bass, channel catfish, northern pike, and yes even an occasional elusive walleye! If you talk to our residents, they’ll tell you . . . “There ain’t no fish in this lake, we just catch the same ones over again.”
So, if you are coming out our way. . . don’t call,
we’re out on the lake!

Curly Leaf Pondweed
Over the past few years (2012-2022) we were a part of a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources pilot program to control an aquatic invasive plant species called curly-leafed pondweed. We were able to treat 91 acres each year with funding assistance from the DNR. The picture right is of a curly-leafed pondweed plant. The last 5 years we are only able to treat 15-20 acres each year to target the densest areas remaining. See maps of treatments done most recently below and the effectiveness of the treatment. The results show for themselves. Collaboration with the DNR yielded positive overall results
