Tom, there's a public-access site on the east side of the lake.

From the intersection of country roads 10 and 30, head west on CR 30 about 1.8 mi, at which point CR 30 turns to the north; there you should follow CR 30 by turning north as well. Once you've turned north, go almost exactly 3/4 mile to the first left, a dead-end road named 327th St. Turn left onto 327th and follow it westward to its end - where it divides, with one long driveway going off to the right and another long driveway going off to the left. From there, a two-track proceeds straight ahead, i.e., continues west; follow the two track westward until, after just over 300 yds., another two-track branches off to the right. If you turn right here then you'll come, in less than 100 yds., to the public-access parking area. Coordinates for the public-access parking area are 45.596912, -94.678382.

Although you can drive all the way to the parking area, if it has rained recently then you might be better served by parking at the end of 327th St., where 327th splits into the two driveways, and where the two-track starts: driving a passenger vehicle on the two-track can be kind of dicey, depending on how muddy it is and how much it's been torn up by farm vehicles.

Wondering whether there is any public way into this lake? It's not obvious from the satellite view of this eBird hotspot. Thanks for any advice,
