So without further delay, here is a list of some of the best lakes in Minnesota. Remember that we couldn’t list all of them, but there is definitely a good sized list here!
Lake Pepin is one of those lakes that just sort of occurred in nature, and natural lakes are arguably the best in the opinion of some. It was caused by the backup of water behind the Chippewa River’s delta. The lake itself is about forty miles across, and it has an average depth of eighteen feet. It’s not a very deep lake but this is good because it means you won’t need to use seven miles worth of fishing line. It also means that there will be more crappies because crappies tend to stick to the warm shallow water in any lake. Keep in mind that crappies also like to stay near driftwood and timber.
Lake Winnibigoshish is a tongue twister, that no one can deny. It is also the home of some of the best crappie in the state. Not only that, the lake also features boat rentals along with a concrete boating ramp for you to launch from. There is also camping, activities, cabins, and just about anything you can imagine. You could take your entire family here to enjoy a fishing trip getaway, and if they get bored with fishing you can also look into the many different activities that are available.
If you are one of those people that is looking for a huge lake to spend their fishing getaway on, then you should definitely look at Lake Superior. This is literally the largest of the five great lakes of North America. You may actually want to get a guide for this one because there is a chance that you will somehow get lost. It is a huge lake (as I said) and there is no doubt that you are going to find all the crappie you need, along with anything else that you may or may not want.
Lake Minnetonka isn’t a bad choice wither with its 14,528 acre area. This lake has always been used as a resort of sorts, and was discovered by two European boys in the year 1822. This lame was also mentioned once in the hit movie Purple Rain that starred Prince.
Finally there is Big Stone Lake which is located on the South Dakta-Minesota Boarder. This lake tends to attract many anglers, and you will find that you can catch a lot of different types of fish here. The area also features a boat launch along with many different activities for both you and your family to enjoy.
