+ About this map
Lake Vermilion stretches nearly 40 miles across northeastern Minnesota between Tower and Cook, on the edge of the Boundary Waters country. Carved into the bedrock of the Canadian Shield, it holds hundreds of islands and one of the most convoluted shorelines of any lake in the state, over 300 miles of rock, pine, and hidden bays.
The depth contours are as intricate as the shoreline. The lines weave among islands and reefs, pinch into narrow channels between basins, and open into bays that each carry their own depths, with the deepest water reaching about 70 feet. There is no single bowl here; the map shows a labyrinth, a lake that rewards a lifetime of learning its water. Few lakes anywhere plot like Vermilion.
