Height of Land Lake stands in Becker County, Minnesota. The setting is rolling bush. Around 5.9 sq miles of open water: conditions change from one end to the other. Shoreline length is close to 12 miles, and each section fishes a little differently. It is the biggest water on our Becker County list. Frazee sits 12 miles from here and is the nearest stop. It is 56 miles to Fargo, the nearest city. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.
Charted depth runs to roughly 24 feet at its lowest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Becker County include bluegill, largemouth bass, walleye and northern pike. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Height of Land Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.
Between January at about 4°F and July at about 68°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and mid November closes it again. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Height of Land Lake that shapes the whole year.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Being dammed, it draws down in some seasons and fills in others. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Evans Lake at 1.4 miles is the nearest alternative. For Height of Land Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
