Bennett Lake is a lake located in Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb of the Twin Cities. It occupies 28 acres (11 ha) acres and is known for its shore fishing.[1] The lake is adjacent to Roseville Central Park, the city's largest park.[2][3]
A 2005 shore restoration project led to improved water quality,[4] and the nearby Prince of Peace Lutheran Church has constructed rain gardens to restrict the flow of surface runoff into the lake.[5]
