Pelican Lake (Minnesota)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pelican Lake is a lake located about seven miles north of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota in Otter Tail County.

[edit] Size and Shape

The lake covers an area of 3,986 acres, and reaches a maximum depth of 55 feet in the northern portion of the lake. The lake got its name because of its unique and very intricate resemblance to the shape of a pelican.

[edit] Neighboring lakes

The Pelican River runs through the lake and forces water southeastward into Lake Lizzie. Little Pelican Lake is located to the northwest and is navigable by going upstream on the Pelican River.
