On Lake Vermilion
Lake Vermilion is a natural lake on the Canadian Shield in St. Louis County, northeastern Minnesota. Tower and the Bois Forte community are on its east end and Cook is on its west end. The Minnesota DNR gives its area as 39,271 acres. It stretches 37 miles end to end, has a maximum depth of 76 feet, 365 islands and 341 miles of shoreline. Its average depth is about 25 feet. The lake drains from Dago Bay, near Vermilion Dam, into the Vermilion River. The river flows 42 miles north to Crane Lake and belongs to the Rainy River system. Parts of the north shore and some islands lie within the Superior National Forest. The north shore also has an entry point to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. More about Lake Vermilion.
