Iowa Lake (Minnesota)
Iowa Lake is a 30-acre lake in Cook County, Minnesota which is tributary to the Poplar River.[1] It has a maximum depth of 13 feet and is clear down to 7 feet. Water access is provided by a portage trail leading to its northeast shore.[1] The lake is fed primarily by a stream on its northwest shore, with secondary intake coming from a pond of less than 100 feet to the north and an intermittent stream located to the south of the portage trail.[2] Its outlet, on the south, empties into Corny Lake through a wetland area.[2] A 1972 survey by Minnesota's DNR indicated the presence of a beaver lodge on the south outlet, and multiple beaver dams along the course of the creek have converted patches of the marsh into open water.[2] A 1971 survey by the fisheries department indicated the lake was home to populations of northern pike, white sucker, and yellow perch.[1]
