Mabel Lake is a 184-acre lake with 2.15 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 14 feet located west of Remer, MN in the Chippewa National Forest. A US Forest Service owned public access is located on the east shore, as well as a federal campground with a picnic area and swimming beach. The DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Mabel Lake is in Lake Class 39; lakes in this class are shallow and often support robust populations of sunfish and Northern Pike. Other area lakes in this class include Lomish and Town Line Lake. Mabel Lake is primarily managed for Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Black Crappie and secondarily for Walleye, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch.

Mabel Lake provides multi-species angling opportunity dominated by Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, and Northern Pike. Largemouth Bass abundance exceeded management goals with fish up to 16 inches sampled. Northern Pike abundance was above the maximum management goal and pike ranged in length from 13 to 34 inches. Bluegill abundance was within the management goal range and roughly half of sampled Bluegill measured 6 inches or longer, ranging in length from 2 to 9 inches. Walleye measured between 17 and 19 inches and abundance was low.

Other fish species that anglers can expect to encounter in Mabel Lake include Hybrid Sunfish and Rock Bass.

People can have significant impacts on lakes and the fish populations they support. Harvest, lakeshore development, removal of shoreline vegetation, and introductions of invasive species can all adversely affect fish populations. Currently, no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Mabel Lake. AIS are moved from infested to non-infested waters by anglers, boaters, and lake shore owners and can adversely impact lakes and fish populations. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access. If you suspect an infestation of an invasive species in this lake, save a specimen and report it to a local natural resource office. Additional information on all of these topics can be found on the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us) or by contacting the Walker Area Fisheries office.
