Muskey Lunge Lake

A vast lake, miles upon miles long, and wide. A unique variety of ecosystems consisting of sand dunes, coastal marshes, rocky shorelines, lakeplain prairies, savannas, forests, fens, and wetlands. There are numerous species of fish that populate the lake but, it was named for the Muskey fish population that thrives in it, or better known in the Ojibwa language, the word maashkinoozhe, meaning "ugly pike". Just about everything from black bear, fox, moose, coyote, gray wolf, elk, white-tailed deer, bobcat, beaver, otter, and lynx make their home here, or congregate to the water to drink. A few Chippewa tribes make their home around the lake area as well. A good place to gather for a drink and graze temporarily for any band of horses, not so much for a lone horse, or a little babe to run a stray from its mother, with all the predators, and even man in the area.
