The Ultimate Escape

Cupid Lake is a peaceful jewel located deep in Minnesota’s north woods. It is the perfect size for fishing, kayaking, or swimming.

With few homes on the lake, it is almost entirely wooded and makes a stunning backdrop. A variety of wildlife can be spotted in the area, including loons, mallards, otters, deer, moose, or elk.

The wide-open skies are perfect for stargazing and often display the northern lights.

Great Waters Nearby

Cupid Lake is adjacent to Sea Gull Lake, a massive, island-dotted lake that spans 3,957 acres. It has a maximum depth of 145 feet and an average depth of 36 feet.

The western end of the lake is reserved for non-motorized boating but the eastern wing leaves plenty of room for speed boating.

It is known for healthy populations of lake trout and walleye but it holds a variety of fish. In the winter, residents of the area enjoy ice skating and snowmobiling.
