Prairie Lake is located about four miles north of Grand Rapids, MN and within the Mississippi River Watershed. This lake totals 1,064 acres and has a maximum depth of 31 feet. There are two accesses, one on the northwest shore and the other on the south end (Lower Prairie). Prairie River passes through the lake and a small hydro-electric dam at the outlet acts as a fish barrier while upstream facilitates fish migration. There are a variety of fish available, but this lake isn’t known for putting out big numbers of game fish. Walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, crappie, rock bass and perch are available in this lake.
