Farquar Lake is a 67-acre[1] lake in Apple Valley, Dakota County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[2][3] It has a maximum depth of 10 ft (3 m).[1]
The lake is used as a stormwater pond for the city of Apple Valley.[3] Its water quality is poor. Common fish species present include black bullhead, bluegill, and walleye.[1]
It was most likely named for John Farquhar, a pioneer settler,[4] although it may have been named for James Farquhar, whose name appears on the abstract of land entries in 1874 as the owner of property adjacent to it.[5]
