## About

Wassermann Lake is a 170-acre lake near Victoria in Carver County, Minnesota. It reaches 41 feet at its deepest point, with an average depth of about 10 feet, and has roughly 2.6 miles of shoreline.

Minnesota DNR fisheries surveys list 13 fish species here, including northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch. Special fishing regulations apply to muskellunge and tiger muskellunge, and they override the statewide limits. The most recent fisheries survey on file dates to 2025.

There is one public boat launch (concrete surface) managed by the Minnesota DNR. 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 31, based on 20 years of DNR ice-out records.
