Wassermann Lake sits near the southwest corner of Victoria in Carver County. Its bowl shape covers about 170 acres, with a narrow band of hardwood forest around most of the shore.
It reaches about 40 feet deep and holds muskie, bass, northern pike, walleye, crappie, sunfish, perch and bullhead.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying nearby.
Part of the Six Mile Creek system
Wassermann is in the Six Mile Creek subwatershed of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Its water flows through Auburn and Parley lakes and eventually reaches Halsteds Bay on Lake Minnetonka.
Water quality
The lake is listed as impaired by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Phosphorus levels are high, stirred up largely by carp, and milfoil and algae blooms are common in mid to late summer. Watershed efforts, including carp management, aim to improve it. If you’re looking at property on the lake, ask about current water quality and any restoration projects.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Homes near Wassermann Lake are generally served by Eastern Carver County Schools (ISD 112) or Waconia Public Schools, depending on the address. Confirm the assigned schools for any address.
- On or near the water: For lake-view or lakeshore lots, ask about shoreline rules, docks, flood zones and any lake association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
