Walgren Lake is nestled into the prairie, surrounded by trees and picnic areas. It is known for quiet, primitive camping, good fishing and the legend of the "Walgren Lake Monster." A wheelchair accessible fishing pier introduces 100 acres of water for bluegill, bullheads, crappie, largemouth bass, walleye, yellow perch, and northern pike. Boating with a speed limit is allowable.
