Benton Lake is a 49-acre lake located on the north side of the City of Cologne. The lake has been stocked with sunfish and crappies since 2014.
If you’re thinking about a home near the water, here’s what to know about the lake and the area around it.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Life on Lake Benton
The pier location also includes a walking trail and picnic area. Much of the lake is surrounded by Paul Ave. and the south western side is low marshlands. Much has been done to preserve the lake including removing carp and trying to control the phosphorus levels that contribute to high amounts of algae in the summertime.
The City of Cologne is a quaint town of under 2000 people. Some of the amenities that are near the lake are Burky’s Bar and Grill, Daboars Bar & Grill and Inn Town II as well as Cologne Fitness center. Dalgreens Golf Club is located east and just west is a smaller lake called Meuwissen Lake. The city also has the Cologne community center that host town events as well as can be rented for events.
If you’re looking to sell or buy a lakehome or move to the area, I’d love the chance to help you with your move!
