This pretty tree-lined lake is 6 miles west of
St. John and 1 mile north, and is the largest lake in Rolette County. It
gets plenty of year round fishing from both the locals and tourists,
producing walleyes, 2 to 12 northern pike, large-mouth bass, bluegills and
perch. There is a public beach area and fishing pier on the east side and a
boat ramp on the north end of the lake. |
