Geocache Description:

This cache is at the public access located on the east shore of Pelican Lake where it connects to Little Pelican. It contains a logbook, pencil, a Golden John Quincy Adams Dollar for the FTF, and a few assorted trade items.

Pelican Lake is located in northwestern Otter Tail County approximately seven miles north of Pelican Rapids, MN. Pelican Lake is a 3,986-acre mesotrophic (moderately fertile) lake that is located within the Otter Tail River Watershed. The southern portion of the lake (309 acres) is referred to as Fish Lake. Pelican Lake is connected to Little Pelican Lake and Lake Lizzie via the Pelican River. The Pelican River inlet is located along the east shoreline of the lake while the outlet is located along the south shoreline of Fish Lake. The Pelican River is navigable by boat upstream to Little Pelican Lake. A dam at the outlet impedes navigability downstream to Lake Lizzie. The maximum depth of Pelican Lake is 55 feet; however, 41% of the lake is less than 15 feet in depth.

Pelican Lake is a popular angling lake during both the open water and ice fishing seasons. The lake is best known for its excellent walleye, northern pike, and bluegill fishing. Data from the population assessment indicate that these species are abundant. Pelican Lake is also becoming renowned as a trophy muskellunge lake. Walleye is a primary management specie in this lake. The Pelican Lake Walleye Foundation supplements walleye natural reproduction and DNR fry stocking by periodically stocking walleye fingerlings. (MN DNR)

Bring your fishing rod to this one and have fun. BTW, at this spot there is pretty good crappie fishing in the early spring.
