Lake Winnibigoshish

Lake Winnibigoshish lies in the lake country of northern Minnesota, along the upper course of the Mississippi. The river flows through its wide waters on its way from Lake Itasca toward the south. Its name comes from the Ojibwe Wiinibiigoonzhish, a diminutive form of a word referring to brackish or murky water. Islands and bays break the shoreline, while forests surround much of the lake and its neighbouring waters.
