Star Lake is a unique small, soft-water lake in central Minnesota. The lake is lightly developed, has a primitive access, and is surround by mixed hardwoods interspersed with bog. The lake gets it name from the irregular shaped shoreline forming bays and backwater marshes. Despite being only 47 acres, the lake has a depth of 30+ feet and a variety of structures such as islands, channels, and drop-offs. Watershield and waterlilies were common around the entire shoreline of the lake out to a depth of 6.5 feet. Robbins pondweed was the most common submerged species covering the lake bottom. Fish species found in Star Lake include northern pike, black crappies, largemouth bass, pumpkinseeds, and yellow perch. Local anglers fish the lake mostly for largemouth bass and bluegills. Crappies are common, but tend to be small, less than 9 inches. While Star Lake has some nice fish in its' water, with the small size of the lake and slow growth rates seen in the majority of the fish, fish populations could be easily over harvested. Fish in Star Lake attained their size due to longevity of life rather than fast growth. Anglers are encouraged to release larger fish and keep only enough for a meal to help maintain a balanced fish community. Homeowners along the lake shore should make efforts to maintain water quality in the lake while enjoying their cabins. Maintaining septic systems and keeping shoreline buffer strips is encouraged.
