Walgren Lake State Recreation Area

Walgren Lake is nestled into the prairie, surrounded by trees and picnic areas. It is known for quiet, primitive camping, good fishing and the legend of the “Walgren Lake Monster.” A wheelchair accessible fishing pier introduces 100 acres of water for bluegill, bullheads, crappie, largemouth bass, walleye, yellow perch, and northern pike. Boating with a speed limit is allowable.
