Lake Winnibigoshish is a body of water in north central
Ho-chunk (Winnebago) Nation was named after.[1]
The Lake's area of 67,000 acres makes it the fourth largest in Minnesota.[2] The headwaters of the Mississippi River begin at Lake Itasca (see Mississippi River Basin map); where it flows through Winnibigoshish, the Mississippi is at its widest - more than 11 miles.[3]
The former Winnibigoshish Township (now unorganized), located on the north shore of Lake Winnibigoshish, in Itasca County, Minnesota, was named after this lake.
