Otter Tail Lake Activities

Since Otter Tail is such a large lake, it offers countless fun activities. One of the most popular activities on this lake is boating. There are three boat launches: Pelican Bay Boat Ramp, Riviera Boat Ramp, and Southwest Shore Boat Ramp. If you have a motorized boat, these are the best places to get it in the water.

The lake has plenty of exceptional beaches along its shoreline where people can sunbathe. Beach Bums Bar and Eatery is a great place to hit the waves and have a drink while you’re at it. Other places like Red Lantern Resort and OtterTail Beach Resort have excellent beach accesses with white-sand shores.

Otter Tail Lake is an ideal place to go kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding because of its calm waters. There is plenty of shoreline to explore while out on the water.

Fishing

What brings most visitors and tourists to Otter Tail Lake is the fishing. The lake offers a unique fishing experience because of its topography. Some fishing veterans say that it’s one of the most diverse lakes in terms of topography as it has flats, holes, humps, and breaklines.

57% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep, but at its deepest point, it’s 120 feet. These deep areas are the best places to find walleye. Although the lake is rich in fish, anglers who have the most success use sonar equipment.

Otter Tail Lake is stocked with a wide variety of species, including:

• Black Bullhead
• Bluegill
• Lake Sturgeon
• Largemouth Bass
• Northern Pike

In the winter, the lake freezes over with a thick layer of ice, making it the perfect location for ice fishing. This lake it truly a year-round playground.
