## About

Marquette Lake is a 528-acre lake near Bemidji in Beltrami County, Minnesota. It reaches 51 feet at its deepest point, and has roughly 5.5 miles of shoreline. DNR surveys put average water clarity at about 6.9 feet.

Minnesota DNR fisheries surveys list 17 fish species here, including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and pumpkinseed. The most recent fisheries survey on file dates to 2025.

No public water access is on record with the DNR, so getting on the water generally depends on a resort, private landing or permission from a shoreline owner.
