Perch Lake

Perch Lake is a fantastic spot to take a break from the road during your Route 66 trip. It's located in northern Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest, just a short drive off the beaten path. The lake is about 25 miles north of Grand Rapids and only 3 miles off Highway 38, making it a convenient stop for road trippers. Once you arrive, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The lake is well-stocked with different species of fish, so it's perfect for both seasoned and novice anglers. You can rent a boat or a canoe to explore the lake's secluded bays and inlets, or simply relax and soak in the scenic beauty of the area.
