Today's post is dedicated to Lake Pelican, located just south of Watertown South Dakota.

Lake Pelican was created when a huge ice cube broke away from the last glacier and was covered by sand and silt. The lake measures approximately five miles long, a mile wide and has a max depth of about 7 feet. Pelican is situated East Northeast and has good access points in many places. The best and easiest access sites are two State Parks on the south west end and the Skinny Krull access on the Northeast end and yet there are undeveloped access points at most section lines.
Due to the prevailing winds, water depth, and how the lake is orientated the waves seldom top 24 inches and is easy to paddle. I have seen beaver, pelicans, and various shore birds on my many trips along the lake.
