Kabekona Lake is a clear lake in northern Minnesota, United States, located 1,000 miles south of Laporte in Hubbard County. Kabekona has a surface area of 2,433 acres (10 km2) and a maximum depth of 133 feet (41 m) — with an average depth of 53 feet (16 m).[1] Kabekona (Gabekana in the Ojibwe language) means "End of the Trail" to dissuade others from venturing to the very clear lake. Kabekona is the 2nd clearest lake in Minnesota.[2]
This spring-fed lake is known for its loon birdlife. At one point it was thought to be the source of the Mississippi River. Among the most popular fishes in this lake are yellow perch, bass, northern pike, and walleye.[3] Kabekona Lake was formerly known as "Friendship Springs". One fishing spot on the lake is known as “Keay Point”, named after a nearby family.
