Garden Lake is a beautiful natural freshwater lake located in Lake County, in the state of Minnesota, United States. It's known for its many islands and its connection to another nearby lake.
What's in a Name?
Garden Lake got its name from the Ojibwe people, who are Native Americans. Long ago, the Ojibwe planted their crops in this area. This is why the lake is called "Garden Lake"—it was a place where food was grown!
Where is Garden Lake?
This lake is found in the northeastern part of Minnesota. It sits at an elevation of about 1,391 feet (or 424 meters) above sea level. While its exact length isn't clearly defined because it connects to Farm Lake, Garden Lake is about 1.58 miles (2.54 kilometers) wide.
Connected Waters
Garden Lake isn't alone! It's connected to another lake called Fall Lake. A short stream links these two bodies of water together. This connection allows water to flow between them, making them part of a larger water system. The lake also has many small land areas sticking out of the water, which are called islands and islets.
