Great little lake with decent walleye fishing near Wakaw; it gets surprisingly rough when there's more than a light breeze. The public boat launch is decent enough, though the dock has seen better days.

🎣 2 catches – Northern Pike (7lb), Walleye (4lb)

Shannon Lake was named for a rancher that settled there in the late 1800's. He didn't stay long maybe a couple of years and gave up his land claim. The Reynaud family took over his land claim.
