2016 Map of Long Lost Lake

About this map

Long Lost Lake and its surrounding dense network of glacial basins define this landscape along the boundary of Clearwater and Becker Counties. This mid-2010s survey shows a region largely preserved for recreation and conservation, centered on the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds through the central corridor. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Bad Medicine Lake in the southeast and the remote character of waters like McKenzie Lake and Juggler Lake. A complex system of forest roads and trails, including McKenzie Rd and Big Hill Fireway, provides the primary access to the numerous small lakes such as Siren Lake and Cesar Lake. The presence of established recreation points like Black Bear Beach Rd indicates the area's continued importance for seasonal residency and outdoor heritage in the Minnesota northwoods.
