Big Chip is a recreational development lake which means that yes, it has a development along its shores, but it also has areas of lakeshore that aren’t developed. It is naturally elongated and fairly large, with just under 1,200 acres. It has an average depth of 24 feet, a maximum depth of just under 100 feet, and a fishing structure all over the place, is putting it mildly. According to the 2016-2026 MN DNR Fisheries Management Plan for the lake, at the time of publication, the average clarity of Big Chip was just over 11 feet. Even though natural reproduction does occur, the lake's primary management has focused on sustaining the popular walleye fishery through stocking. Not a “walleye guy”? No worries. Big Chip also has other fish species, including Largemouth Bass, Northern, Sunfish, Crappie, and Perch. This is an extremely rare opportunity! So, if you are looking for a lake lot to build your dream home or family cabin getaway on not only a lake that is a fantastic fishery but has good water quality, then give us a shout, and we’d love to discuss this “Big Chip” lot in further detail!
