This is a spring fed lake called Lake Itasca. The lake is located in Lake (appropriately enough) Itasca State Park. It is about 44 miles from our rv park. Bill and Marilyn rode their motorcycles as it was a beautiful day. The town we were in is Mahnomen,Minn. It has a casino there w/a rv park that was much cheaper than the one in ST.Paul-Minn.
Where the water spills over the rocks is the start of the Mississippi River. I believe the map showed that 41 percent of the rivers east and west flow into it. It was a great map, didn't realize how much water flows into it as it makes it way to the gulf.
There is a place there you can take your shoes off (or not) and wake across, John chose not to, but as you can see below, Bill did.
Great day and beautiful country.
