Comments: Carver Lake is a great place for a day outdoors. It is a pretty lake surrounded by hills and is 36 feet deep with fairly clear water. Carver Lake has no fishing pier, but there is a boardwalk that runs along the shore. The lake has a history of abundant northern pike. Bluegill, crappie, northern pike, and largemouth bass are in decent numbers according to 2009 survey. Try the swimming beach if you want to take a break on a hot day.
