Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.
Cedar Lake (DOW # 29-0312-00) is located ten miles north of Park Rapids, on the border of Becker and Hubbard Counties. Cedar Lake has a surface area of 103 acres and a maximum depth of 26 feet. There is a state-owned public access on the south shore of the lake, off County Road 41. Most of Cedar Lake shoreline is owned by either state or county leaving it mostly undeveloped. Cedar Lake provides fishing opportunities for Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Black Crappie. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Cedar Lake is in Lake Class 29. Lake Class 29 lakes generally have a high percentage of littoral area (depths less than 15 feet) with a regularly shaped shoreline. Other Lake Class 29 lakes in the Park Rapids area include: Horseshoe (Mirage), Island (Ham), Mow, Palmer, Spirit and Tenth Crow Wing. Northern Pike were sampled in comparable numbers to similar lakes. Northern Pike ranged from 18 inches to 30 inches in length, with an average size of 26 inches and 3.6 pounds, which is higher than similar lakes in the area. Largemouth Bass Spring electrofishing numbers were low compared to the previous surveys, but summer sampling showed increased numbers. The average size was 14.3 inches, with fish sampled up to 20 inches. Angling opportunities for panfish include Bluegill, Pumpkinseed and Black Crappie. Bluegill catch rates were comparable when compared to similar lakes, with an average size of 5.3 inches. Black Crappie catch rates were also average compared to similar lakes, with an average size of 7.2 inches. Most crappies were smaller than what anglers generally prefer. Yellow Perch are an important forage for Northern Pike, and numbers in 2025 were high compared to past surveys and similar lakes, with an average size of 6.4 inches. Currently no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Cedar Lake. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
