Southern Minnesota 'Hot Spots'?

[josejavierlopez256001]

There are three "divable" places in this area. Fish Lake is near Waterville (in between Mankato and Faribault). This lake is spring-fed and visibility can be very good as long you avoid heavy-rains-strong-winds periods. The DNR monitors this lake frequently and water quality is excellent. The lake is located in an isolated area far from farming and urban land uses. The only problem of LeSueur's County Fish lake is that is so vulnerable to climatic changes. The lake does not have algae problems, but is small and any minor summer storm can trash the lake. For this reason, you need to monitor weather patterns before diving this place.

South of Albert Lea (12 miles) is Kuennen's Pit. This quarry is 30 feet deep with very interesting rock walls.

30 minutes south of Albert Lea is Big Blue. This pit is 33 feet deep and there is a sail boat and a diving platform.
