After 50 years of family fun on Big Watab lake, we have decided to sell and see another family enjoy years of fun. Located in Collegeville Township- near St. Johns University and St. Joseph MN, Big Watab is spring fed with no inlets, and has a water clarity of 16ft plus- one of the clearest lakes in MN. It reaches a depth of 123' and has phenomenal fishing, including Brown Trout. The south facing lot includes an area where a septic field can be installed, which is rare on this lake. Message me for further information.
