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!

North Browns Lake Water Quality
Water quality; as measured by the Carlson Trophic Index, has been slowly increasing since 2006. This annual data collection in water clarity can be seen in the chart below. For all you non-marine biology nor water clarity experts; please email the board with questions about what the board does and why it has relevance to your lake improvement spending.
The Carlson Trophic Index is based on three factors, water transparency, measured by a Secchi disk, chlorophyll-a (algae in the water), and total phosphorus. The chart below shows the level of these three factors for 2012. The association continues to monitor and test the lake water annually. We work with a licensed test lab to validate and document the results.
