Lake Reshanau in Lino Lakes is one of the most surprising and versatile lake options in the Northern Suburbs. While it’s known for its natural setting and peaceful shoreline, many buyers don’t realize that it’s also a fully recreational, 300-plus-acre lake that supports everything from boating and skiing to tubing and year-round fishing. For families who want lake life without leaving the metro, Lake Reshanau offers one of the best combinations of space, privacy, and usability.
Lake Size, Depth, and Water Profile
Lake Reshanau spans approximately 302 acres, making it larger than many lakes in the Rice Creek Chain. While depth varies (12 FT) and includes shallower zones, it remains fully recreational and easily supports pontoons, wakeboarding, tubing, fishing, and active lake use.
The mix of open water and natural shoreline creates long views, scenic backdrops, and a relaxed feel that sets this lake apart from the busier, more compact lakes in the area.
Shoreline, Homes, and Property Types
Lake Reshanau attracts homeowners who want larger lots, mature trees, and privacy without giving up recreation. Many homes offer long setbacks, deep yards, and wooded buffers that create a more secluded environment.
Buyers here tend to look for:
• space and privacy
• room for outbuildings or larger garages
• walkout lots
• wildlife and natural surroundings
• flexibility for future expansion
• quieter residential streets with lake access
Homes on Lake Reshanau are often held for decades, and turnover remains low, keeping demand strong.
Recreation and Lifestyle
Unlike many nature-focused lakes, Reshanau is fully recreational. That means residents can enjoy all the classic Minnesota lake activities:
• boating
• tubing
• skiing
• jet skiing
• paddleboarding
• kayaking
• canoeing
• fishing
• ice fishing
• shoreline lounging
Because of the lake’s layout and acreage, users can spread out, and the lake doesn’t feel crowded even on busy weekends.
School District and Community
Lake Reshanau is served by Centennial Schools (ISD 12), one of the strongest districts in the Northern Suburbs. The district consistently attracts families relocating from across the metro or out of state who want high-quality academics, strong athletics, and a tight-knit community environment.
Nearby amenities include:
• Lino Lakes and Blaine retail
• parks and trail systems
• YMCA facilities
• freeway access to both I-35E and I-35W
• close proximity to restaurants and services
The surrounding community continues to grow, while still offering the feel of a lake town with space and privacy.
Why Buyers Choose Lake Reshanau
Lake Reshanau is ideal for buyers who want a versatile, fully recreational lake without the overcrowded feel of more commercialized areas. It offers a balance of nature and activity, making it perfect for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone wanting the full lake lifestyle just minutes from schools, shopping, and major highways.
For buyers who want space, privacy, and true lake usability, Lake Reshanau stands out as one of the best choices in the Northern Suburbs.
