 Long Lake is a favorite
place for scuba divers to explore because of the lake depth and water
clarity. The water in Long Lake is unusually clear. A test
disc lowered into the lake can be seen 18 feet down compared with the 5
foot average in Minnesota lakes. At the turn of the century, Long
Lake was used by logging companies as a holding area for logs waiting to
be loaded onto railcars. These logs were landed at the northwest
end of  the lake where today
you will find the boat ramp and picnic areas. Today the remains of
the railroad trestle are still visible at the southeast end of the
lake. Sunken logs, boats and other treasures are yours for exploring
at the bottom of Long Lake. For more information on scuba diving
