NOTES ABOUT NORWAY LAKE: This lake is 515 acres in size and is approximately 12 feet deep at its deepest point. It is a full recreation lake, with most lake-goers using fishing, pontoon or smaller power boats. Many of our neighbors tube and ski, however large wake boats would likely be more difficult to use due to their depth and the shallowness of the lake. Anglers can expect the full spectrum of Minnesota fish species.
Please be aware that our shoreline is sandy but shallow, with the area surrounding our dock only between 3-4 feet deep. It is perfect for getting a boat in and out or fishing, but would likely be unappealing for kids looking for a deep area to jump and swim. Absolutely no diving is permitted. Our beach area is best suited for wading or floating on blow-up toys, and not ideal for those looking for deep swimming. Most folks on our lake use their boats/kayaks/paddle boards to get to the deeper parts of the lake for swimming. The city of Pine River, however, has a newly-renovated swim beach with a diving platform available to the public for free, located on the Pine River by the new dam.
