About Norway Lake
Norway Lake is a 2,339-acre lake in northwest Kandiyohi County near Sunburg with more than 20 miles of shoreline. It is shallow at 33 feet and the DNR lists six public accesses.
Norway Lake is the third-largest of the 12 Kandiyohi County lakes on this site, after Green Lake and Big Kandiyohi Lake. About 92% of it is under 15 feet deep, the zone the DNR calls littoral, where most aquatic plants grow, so shallow water makes up most of the lake.
From the middle of Norway Lake, as the crow flies, it is about 8 miles to New London and 10 miles to Spicer. Janet's office in Alexandria is 41 miles to the north.

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.
