About Lake Latoka
Lake Latoka lies just southwest of Alexandria and is one of the deepest lakes in the area at 108 feet. Its 767 acres are split into north and south bays.
Lake Latoka is the 13th-largest of the 24 Douglas County lakes on this site, and Lake Osakis is the largest. Only about 35% of it is under 15 feet deep (the DNR's littoral zone, where most aquatic plants grow), so most of the lake is deeper open water.
From the middle of Lake Latoka, as the crow flies, it is about 3 miles to Alexandria, 5 miles to Garfield, and 7 miles to Forada. Janet's office is in Alexandria.

Janet on the lakes
Lots on Lake Latoka that are level to the water tend to sell faster than steep lots with a long stairway down. Sunset exposure, lot width at the shore, and elevation all show up in what buyers pay.

We were in the market for a cabin and met Janet, with our first visit to a cabin we were interested in. Janet worked tirelessly to help us find a place that met our requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable of lakes, homes and their backgrounds. I would recommend Janet for any real estate needs.
