Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
“Lake of Changing Colors” is the nickname for the lake officially known as Deer Lake, located in Itasca County in Minnesota’s beautiful Northwoods region. This county has more than 1,000 lakes and an abundance of forested land, making it a beautiful region to visit. Originally inhabited by the Ojibwe people, the area was later settled by fur traders and loggers. The lake gained its famous nickname because of the unique prism of blue and green colors that can be seen in the water due to its mineral content. There are 25 islands spread across the lake, which makes island hopping a popular activity among visitors.
