Blackwell Lake is a 307-acre natural lake in Douglas County located eight to nine miles southwest of Alexandria, featuring a maximum depth of 42 feet with an average depth of 10 feet, appealing 12.3-foot water clarity, and five miles of scenic shoreline. Named for George Blackwell, a pioneer who settled in the area in 1868, the lake is classified as a Recreational Development water with excellent fish community health as indicated by strong FIBI scores above the impairment threshold for aquatic life. The DNR reports that anglers should enjoy Blackwell, with Largemouth Bass being particularly abundant, along with healthy populations of Walleye, Northern Pike, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed, and multiple bullhead species including Black, Brown, and Yellow Bullhead, plus Bowfin and various forage fish. The lake features diverse habitat with aquatic vegetation and varied depth structure creating ideal conditions for year-round fishing success. With a public boat launch providing convenient access and no horsepower restrictions, the lake is perfect for fishing, boating, water skiing, kayaking, swimming, and excellent ice fishing during Minnesota winters.

Located near the communities of Kensington, Garfield, and Lowry approximately eight to nine miles southwest of Alexandria in the heart of Minnesota's lakes region, Blackwell Lake offers easy access to one of the state's premier vacation destinations with over 350 lakes within the area. Alexandria, known as "Birthplace of America" and home of the iconic 28-foot tall Big Ole Viking statue, features the world-famous Runestone Museum showcasing the controversial Kensington Runestone discovered by a farmer in 1898 that may prove Vikings visited Minnesota long before Columbus, plus the Legacy of the Lakes Museum celebrating Minnesota's lake life with historic boat displays. Visitors can explore the Alexandria Chain of Lakes including Lake Carlos, Lake Victoria, and Lake Darling for additional water recreation, Lake Carlos State Park with 1,214 acres of camping, hiking, swimming, and biking just 10 miles north, and Glacial Lakes State Park for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

The artistic design features a natural wood top layer of maple or birch that perfectly frames the lake's 307-acre shape and five miles of shoreline detail, while the water depths are represented through a captivating gradient flowing from light blue in the shallow 10-foot average areas to rich deeper blue at the 42-foot maximum depth. Every bay, depth contour, the public boat launch location, and distinctive feature is precisely laser-etched into the multi-layered wood construction, creating a three-dimensional piece of wall art that beautifully captures the excellent water clarity and abundant largemouth bass fishing heritage of this beloved Douglas County lake just minutes from Big Ole Viking and the heart of Minnesota's lakes country.
