7. Island Lake Hatchery Pond – Itasca, Chippewa National Forest

The Island Lake Hatchery Pond can be accessed from the north end on a road that runs along the pond that runs east off of CR 46, 3/4 mile south of CR 28. About ¼ mile south of that road, there is another road to the east that ends at another place to scan the pond. The pond is good for waterfowl, some shorebirds, and passerines in the shrubby areas around the pond.
