Little Sand Lake

2012?

Little Sand Lake is located six miles northeast of Park Rapids, Minnesota. It covers 386 acres and has a long, narrow shape. Little Sand Lake has two inlets and one outlet. The main inlet enters from Ida Lake under County Road 7. The second inlet flows in from Gilmore Lake. The outlet is located near the middle of the east shoreline. The Sand River flows out of the lake and heads south into Round Lake. From Round Lake, the water flows into Clausens Lake and Shallow Lake, and eventually into Lake Belle Taine. Water quality data have been collected on Little Sand Lake since 1988 (Table 3). These data show that the lake is at the oligotrophic, which is characterized by clear water throughout the summer and excellent recreational opportunities. The Little Sand Lake Association is involved in many activities, including water quality monitoring. They are also a member of the Hubbard County Coalition of Lake Associations (COLA).
