Lake Ida Homes for Sale
If you’re considering buying a home in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, then Lake Ida is a great place to consider. Located in Douglas County, It was named for Ida Paulson, the daughter of one of the first homesteaders to have settled in the area of Anthony Township. In addition to that, the lake is considered to be a part of Ida Township, which was established in 1870. It features 22 miles of shoreline, is 4,426 acres, and is 106 feet deep at its deepest point. It has around 28 species of fish that includes Black Bullhead, Green Sunfish, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and Big Mouth Bass. As for Douglas County, it has a rich history dating back to 1858 when the first European settlers began establishing homesteads in the area. The Sioux Uprising - also known as the Dakota War of 1862 - all but halted further development, until the Sioux Treaty of 1868 was signed by all conflicting parties. Additionally, America had suffered through a damaging Civil War during the same period, so by the time peace returned to the area, many of the homes and business were vacant, with many of the settlers never returning. Eventually, though, Douglas County bounced back.
