26 Of The Funniest, Quirkiest, and Weirdest Minnesota Lake Names

The idea of naming Minnesota's thousands of lakes is a daunting task.

While we brag about having 10,000 of them, there are actually more than 11,000. That is a lot of names!

There are some very uninspired lake names in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Take, for example, the over 200 lakes named Mud Lake. Or the over 100 lakes named Long Lake.

Pine, Round, Bass...they're all extremely common lake names.

There are so many lakes, there are actually hundreds of Minnesota lakes that are just numbered. Like the beautiful Lake 40. Or, who can forget the incredible Lake 586?

Thankfully there are also many quirky, weird, and downright funny lake names. We're talking names that range from low-brow teenage humor to extremely random.

While I won't claim these are all of them, they happen to be some of the most entertaining lake names I am aware of.

If you happen to know of any other ones, hit me up on my bio and let me know what I should add!
