Trout lakes list

DNR is phasing out this listing of trout lakes. We encourage you to visit our new trout fishing page. A list of fishable trout lakes is available on our new lake list. The new tool also allows users to list lakes by region using the drop-down box on the top right.

Also see listing of Minnesota's designated trout lakes and trout streams (as listed in rule)
