## About

Schutz Lake is a 106-acre lake near Victoria in Carver County, Minnesota. It reaches 49 feet at its deepest point, and has roughly 2.1 miles of shoreline.

Minnesota DNR fisheries surveys list 7 fish species here, including largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and yellow perch. The most recent fisheries survey on file dates to 1991.

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.
