Manymoon Lake (Minnesota)

Manymoon Lake is a 24-acre lake in Cook County, Minnesota[1] belonging to the Poplar River watershed.[2] At its deepest point it measures only 6.5 feet deep and has abundant aquatic plant life to a depth of 2.5 feet.[1] Water clarity as of 2008 measured 1.41 meters.[3] The substrate consists of muck and stones of no uniform size.[1] Manymoon lake has neither inlet nor permanent outlet, although an intermittent stream feeds a wetland on the end of the southeastern bay.[4] Nonetheless, Manymoon is located in the sub-watershed dominated by Rice Lake to the north, and water from Manymoon enters into lower portions of the Poplar River through Rice Lake's outflow.[2] Manymoon is accessible through a portage off Rice Lake Road.[1]
