Thompson Lake

Thompson Lake is a 60-acre lake in Pepin County offering public boat access via a concrete ramp launch located in Durand. The lake features a maximum depth of 23 feet, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. A parking lot is available at the launch site, though overflow parking may be needed during peak use times.

The lake supports populations of panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers. With its modest size, Thompson Lake is ideal for recreational paddling and fishing trips. Water conditions and weather can vary seasonally, so paddlers should check conditions before launching and come prepared with appropriate safety gear.
