About Gem Lake

Tucked just south of White Bear Lake, Gem Lake is one of the smallest and quietest communities in Ramsey County. Originally carved out of rural township land in 1959, the area offers spacious wooded lots, quiet roads, and a relaxed, semi-rural atmosphere. It makes a great landing spot for anyone looking for privacy and greenery while still enjoying an easy commute into St. Paul.
