Lake Winnibigoshish, Reservoir in Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota.
Lake Winnibigoshish extends across 67,000 acres of water surface between Cass and Itasca counties, reaching depths of up to 69 feet.
The Mississippi River flows through Lake Winnibigoshish, creating a section that spans more than 11 miles across this natural water system.
The name originates from Ojibwe language, reflecting the indigenous presence and connection to the waters of northern Minnesota.
Multiple public access points and boat ramps allow visitors to enter the lake for activities including fishing, boating, and water recreation.
During winter months, the frozen surface transforms into a destination for ice fishing, with numerous fishing shelters dotting the landscape.
