## About

Eagle Lake is an 183-acre lake near Young America (subdivision) in Carver County, Minnesota. It reaches 14 feet at its deepest point, and has roughly 2.5 miles of shoreline. DNR surveys put average water clarity at about 1 feet, so expect stained or algae-tinted water in summer.

Minnesota DNR fisheries surveys list 8 fish species here, including walleye, northern pike, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch. The DNR has stocking records for the lake, so check the stocking report for the most recent species and year classes. Special fishing regulations apply to muskellunge and tiger muskellunge, and they override the statewide limits. The most recent fisheries survey on file dates to 2023.

There is one public boat launch (concrete surface) managed by the Minnesota DNR. OpenStreetMap shows a swim beach on or beside the lake. Baylor Regional Park Campground and Baylor Park Group Camp are mapped close to the shoreline for overnight stays. The lake is listed as infested with Eurasian watermilfoil — clean, drain and dry your boat and gear before leaving. Ice typically goes out around March 27, based on 9 years of DNR ice-out records.
