Riverside Landing is on the southeast side right off of Co. Rd. 145. The Pelican Bay access or Sportsmans Access is on the west side of the lake off MN HWY 78. The Riviera Access is on the “north” side of Co. Rd. 1. The Otter Tail River flows into & out of Otter Tail Lake. In addition to walleyes, Otter Tail Lake has largemouth & smallmouth bass, lots of pike & some decent perch. There are also some really nice bluegills and crappie if you can find them. Otter Tail Offers a unique opportunity for anglers to catch a sturgeon. This is catch and release ONLY, so please handle with care.
