String Lake is a 402-acre, class 42 lake located four miles west of the City of Windom in Cottonwood County. String Lake is comprised of three basins divided by roads but are connected by culverts that allow fish passage. String Lake is a shallow basin (max depth of 6.0 ft.) that experiences frequent partial winterkills. While observed dissolved oxygen levels were not below 2.0 parts per million, dead fish were observed when the ice went off at String Lake. A winterkill check was done on May 15, 2023, using boat electrofishing to determine the extent of the winterkill.

Six species of fish were sampled during the 2023 winterkill check including Bigmouth Buffalo (80.5 per hour), Black Bullhead (13.8 per hour), Common Carp (7.9 per hour), Fathead Minnow (53.0 per hour), Walleye (2.0 per hour), and Yellow Perch (3.9 per hour). The presence of several species suggests that a partial winterkill occurred at String Lake, but not severe enough to alter the fish community. String Lake was stocked with 325,000 Walleye fry in the spring of 2023 to establish a top-level predator.
