Little Pine Lake is a 1,969 acre mesotrophic (moderately fertile) lake located in northeastern Otter Tail County approximately 2 miles north of Perham, MN. Little Pine Lake is a part of the Otter Tail River Watershed and is connected to Big Pine Lake via the Otter Tail River. The Otter Tail River inlet is located along the west shoreline of the lake while the outlet is located along the southeast shoreline. The Otter Tail River is navigable by boat upstream of Little Pine Lake. A Minnesota DNR controlled dam at the outlet impedes navigability downstream to Big Pine Lake. The lake has a maximum depth of 63 feet and 35% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep. Little Pine Lake is one of the better walleye lakes in the area with some very good fishing for northern pike as well. Other fish include largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, rock bass and perch.
Little Pine Lake Association is a member of the Otter Tail Pine Lakes Improvement District (LID). Click here for more information about the LID.
