Rogers Lake was named for E. G. Rogers, a pioneer farmer who settled there.[2]
Wagon Wheel Trail divides the two sections of the lake (the northern is sometimes referred to as "Mendakota Lake")[3] which are connected by a culvert (a popular fishing spot). The south shore is occupied by Saint Thomas Academy and the Patterson Companies headquarters. Interstate 35E is routed along the western shore. A paved trail runs between 35E and the lake, from Mendota Heights Road to Rogers Lake Parm. The park is located on the northwest corner of the lower lake, and is a popular area for fishing and skateboarding in the summer. Mendakota Country Club surrounds the northern section. The remainder of the shoreline is occupied by private homes and accompanying land.
