North Lida is connected to South Lida by a navigable culvert under Highway 108 and is also connected to Lizzie Lake by an unnavigable culvert under County Road 4. There is also a public access to the lake off of this road.

South Lake Lida is located North of County Highway 3 and South of State Highway 108. It is connected to North as mentioned above as well as to Venstrom Lake by small chanel (navigable only by small water craft). Almost the entire east side of the lake boarders Maplewood State Park.

Venstrom, by far the smallest of the three lakes is only accessable from South Lida. It is frequented by paddleboats and canoes.

    Hello. I currently serve as VP for the Star Lake Association. We are thinking of installing solar powered lights at our public access sites. I am curious if your lake has lighting at your public access sites and, if so, what has been the experience with them. It is being discussed as a safety and invasive species control project. Thanks.
