Upstream from the lake are Big Pine, Little Pine and Rush lakes, while downstream are East Lost, West Lost and Deer lakes. The maximum depth is , but 57% of the lake is deep or less. The shore of the lake and at least the shallower areas are composed of sand and gravel. The water clarity is ,〔(Lake information report: Minnesota DNR )〕 which is considered good.〔(Water clarity - Understanding Lake Data - WDNR )〕 A prominent feature of Otter Tail is the "point" which essentially divides the lake into eastern and western halves.〔http://myfishingpals.com/Minnesota-Lake-Maps/ottertail.pdf〕 Otter Tail lake is ringed with a tall, mostly deciduous tree line. In general, the tree line goes back around 300 yards from the shore and acts as a windbreak, keeping the shoreline calm compared to the center of the lake. The waters of Otter Tail Lake ultimately flow north into Hudson Bay through the Red River of the North. At 13,725 acres it is the tenth largest lake completely within the borders of Minnesota.〔http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/faq/mnfacts/water.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otter Tail Lake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
