Pipestone Lake

A True Haven for Anglers

Pipestone Lake is a true haven for fishing and outdoor enthusiasts alike. 30 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, up to 120 feet deep, with hundreds of miles of shorelines, the lake is home to an abundance of Northern Pike, Small & Large Mouth Bass, Lake Trout, Walleyes, and Muskies.

The adventure doesn't stop there – boat caches on additional excellent fishing lakes surround Pipestone and are available to you.

Fish Management

At Pipestone Lodge, we take fish management seriously to ensure the sustainability and health of the lake's ecosystem for future generations. Although we promote catch-and-release techniques, our guests are welcome to keep their legal limit.

Whether you're here for a relaxing day on the water or a more intensive fishing adventure, we strive to create an environment where both anglers and fish thrive.
