History & Status of the Fishery
Nagel Lake is located eleven miles south of Akeley in Hubbard County. Nagel has a surface area of 69 acres and a maximum depth of 65 feet. There is a state owned carry in access on the northeast shore of the lake. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Nagel Lake is in lake class 28. Class 28 lakes generally are small with a regularly shaped shoreline, and very clear and hard water. Other class 28 lakes in the Park Rapids area include: Big Bass, Dinner, Emma, Gilmore, Indian, Newman, Thomas, and Williams. Due to its small size, Nagel Lake is very susceptible to over-harvest. Anglers must practice selective harvest if they want to improve or maintain the fishery.
