About Pelican Lake

Pelican Lake is one of the most sought-after lakes in the Detroit Lakes area, known for its sandy beaches, clear water, and excellent fishing. The lake covers over 3,200 acres and offers a mix of seasonal cabins and year-round luxury homes.

Properties on Pelican Lake command premium prices due to the water quality and sandy shoreline — features that are increasingly rare on Minnesota lakes. The south end of the lake has some of the best beaches, while the north end offers quieter, more wooded lots. Most waterfront properties include dock and lift systems, and the lake is large enough for all types of boating.
