About Pokegama Lake

Pokegama Lake is a 6,622-acre gem located adjacent to the city of Grand Rapids in Itasca County. Part of the Mississippi River chain of lakes, Pokegama offers diverse fishing for walleye, northern pike, musky, bass, and panfish. The lake's 38 miles of shoreline feature a mix of sand, rock, and weedy areas that support a wide variety of fish species, with depths reaching 62 feet.

Walleye and northern pike are the most popular targets on Pokegama, but the lake's musky population draws dedicated trophy hunters as well. Largemouth bass thrive in the protected bays and weed beds, while crappie and bluegill provide outstanding panfishing. The lake is also a productive ice fishing destination, with walleye and crappie being the primary winter species.

Grand Rapids, the birthplace of Judy Garland, sits on the lake's northern shore and provides all necessary services for anglers, including boat launches, marinas, bait shops, lodging, and restaurants. The lake's convenient location along US Highway 2 makes it an easy stop for anglers traveling through northern Minnesota.
