The lake

A small lake with a big personality

Swan Lake is a shallow, natural lake of roughly 173 to 200 acres in Turner County, known locally for solid fishing and a quiet, cabin-dotted shoreline. Anglers work the lake for channel catfish, walleye, bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, and perch, and there is public boat access off 455th Avenue.

The lot at 2000 Bright Shores Pl fronts roughly 200 feet of that western shoreline on a private drive, in a lightly developed stretch of the lake that keeps its calm.
