Review & FAQ:
Minnesota is known for its many lakes, and among them Deer Lake stands out as a true gem. The lake is nicknamed the “Lake of Changing Colors” due to its colorful water that can shift from blue to green depending on mineral concentration. It sits in the state’s popular northwoods area.
Deer Lake is known for having deep, clear water and a particularly secluded location offering a retreat from the everyday. It is popular among boaters and paddlers who can be found hopping from island to island as there are 25 islands scattered throughout the lake. Other activities include wildlife watching, swimming, exploring the forest surrounding the lake, camping, and more.
