DODGE COUNTY, Minn. (FOX 9) - Lake living could be coming to Dodge County.

Dodge County is often considered the fifth, but they're hoping a trip to the Capitol could bring a cascade of water.

But in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, you have to get out of Dodge to see one.

"We do not have a lake feature unless you count Rice Lake and no one counts Rice Lake," said Melissa Devetter, who works in the county administrator's office.

At the county line between Dodge and Steele counties, where Rice Lake is supposed to trickle into Dodge, FOX 9 couldn't find any lake water, just some tall, relatively dry grass.
