Bachelor Lake is a lake in Brown County, Minnesota, in the northeastern part of Stark township, near the town of New Ulm. Located in the Cottonwood River watershed, it is one of the protected waters of the State of Minnesota. It is at an elevation of 1,004 feet (306 m).
As early as 1894, the lake was named for an unmarried pioneer who lived there. It was mentioned before that, though, in a geological study that was published in 1884.
