2019 Map of Echo Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern landscape, where a dense network of water and wilderness trails defines the territory. The central expanse of Echo Lake is fed and drained by several prominent watercourses, including the Echo River, Hunting Shack River, and Picket Creek. This 2019 survey documents a modern recreational infrastructure, highlighted by the long-distance Voyageur Snowmobile Trail and specialized routes like the Echo Hunter Perimeter Loop. The border between the USA and Canada is visible in the northeast corner near the Loon River, illustrating the proximity of this rugged region to the international line. Inland, complex trail systems such as the Baylis Herriman Lake Loop and the Echo Trail provide access to smaller bodies of water like Herriman Lake and Knute Lake, which characterize the boggy and lake-studded topography of Saint Louis County.
