Lake Information for Winnibigoshish Lake
Lake Winnibigoshish is a body of water in north central Minnesota, in the Chippewa National Forest. Its name comes from the Ojibwe language Wiinibiigoozhish, meaning "putridly stagnant waters"; the name is related in structure to Lake Winnipeg and to the Algonquian name for Green Bay, to which the Ho-chunk (Winnebago) Nation was named after.
The former Winnibigoshish Township (now unorganized), located on the north shore of Lake Winnibigoshish, in Itasca County, Minnesota was named after this lake.
Lake Winnibigoshish is one of the premier walleye, perch and musky lakes in the state.
It also contains some northern pike, brown bullhead, and white sucker.
