2016 Map of Toohey Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this wilderness landscape within the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and portage routes. Central to this area is Toohey Lake, flanked by the larger Fourmile Lake and smaller bodies such as Soda Lake and Pancake Lake. This 2016 survey documents the modern infrastructure that provides access to these remote waters, including the established Sawbill Trail and the woodland corridor known as The Grade. These routes, along with the Finger Lake Access, serve as the primary conduits for recreational users and forest management. The drainage patterns of the Temperance River and Cross River further characterize the terrain, which is also crisscrossed by recreational paths like the N Shore State Trail and the Leveaux Snowmobile Trail, reflecting the dual use of the forest for both transit and leisure.
