What aquatic invasive species are found in Lake Susan?
Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers.

But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.
History & Status of the Fishery
Susan is an 88-acre lake located in the city of Chanhassen, Carver County. A public city-owned boat launch is on the northwest corner of the lake within Lake Susan Park. A fishing pier is adjacent to the boat ramp, and a bike path along the north and west shores provides shore fishing opportunities. Maximum depth is 17 feet. A standard survey was conducted during July 2019 to determine the species composition and abundance of game fish in the lake
Northern Pike abundance was below-average but average size was large at over 28.5 inches. With the largest measuring just over 37 inches. Walleye have not been stocked into Lake Susan since 2003 but 4 Walleye were captured in this survey and all were between 23.00 and 24.99 inches. A downstream, connected water, Lake Riley, has been regularly stocked with Walleye, and is a likely origin of the fish sampled during this survey.
Historically, Bluegill have been caught in low numbers in Lake Susan. Abundance was below average in trap nets for similar lakes but 31 Bluegill were captured in gillnets in this survey. Combined statistics from gillnets and trap nets showed that Bluegill averaged just over 6 inches in length and ranged from 3 to just over 7.5" inches. Of 77 Bluegill sampled, 61% were greater than or equal to 6.5 inches in length.
Black Crappie abundance was below average at 2.56/net in trap nets but was above average for gillnets at 21/net. Combined statistics show Black Crappie were just under 8 inches on average in Lake Susan and range from 4.72-9.96 inches with an average length of just under 8 inches. Just over 53% of Black Crappie sampled were greater than or equal to 8.5 inches in length, and 17% were greater than or equal to 9 inches in length.
Other species sampled in low abundance in the survey were Yellow Perch, Black Bullhead, Brown Bullhead, hybrid sunfish, Yellow Bullhead, Common Carp, and Golden Shiner. Largemouth Bass were captured in this survey but gillnets and trap nets are not optimal for sampling this species.
