A Department of Natural Resources (DNR) owned public access is located on the east shore of the lake. The Minnesota DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Hattie Lake is in lake class 31. Class 31 lakes generally have hard water and are regularly shaped. Other class 31 lakes in the Park Rapids area include: Boulder; Evergreen; and Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Crow Wing Lakes.
Walleye abundance was low but consistent in previous years, but dropped further in 2016. The few walleyes that were sampled were larger, from 17-24.5 inches. Yellow Perch are important forage for Walleyes and Northern Pike, and their numbers were in line with other class 31 lakes. Perch had an average size of 6.5 inches and were sampled up to 9.5 inches.
