Wonderful little lake, clear water and not over crowded. Fishing wasnt the best here in early July but Ive had better luck later in the season when I was here last year. Boat launch allows for only 1 boat to be launched at a time, but Ive never had to wait more than a few minutes to get in or out. There is a place for picnics and gatherings in the park. Very clean and pristine area just south of Duluth that is worth checking out for a day.

This was my first time here. I went ice fishing here after doing some fishing research on the lake and it's near my cabin. Caught a couple yellow perch and of course the big one got away while reeling it in but it felt like a walleye or northern. Would definitely go back!

Good boat ramp, solid pier. Family friendly area.

About Chub Lake

Chub Lake, nestled just south of Duluth, offers visitors a pristine escape with its clear waters and inviting surroundings. This family-friendly lake is perfect for a range of outdoor activities. Although fishing can be hit or miss, seasoned anglers have had success with yellow perch, walleye, and northern pike, especially later in the season. The boat launch and solid pier make accessing the lake straightforward, although the single-lane launch may require a short wait. On the shore, the park area provides ample space for picnics and gatherings, accommodating those looking to relax by the water. For beachgoers, the sandy shoreline offers a place to unwind and soak up the sun. While the area can get crowded during peak times, the natural beauty and serene atmosphere generally prevail, making Chub Lake a delightful day-trip destination.
