Those used to seeing Little Shingobee Lake at a much higher stage might be surprised to see how low the lake has been for the past two years. Ever since beavers lost interest in the large beaver dam on the north end of the lake, the lake stage has remained at this much lower level. This view of Little Shingobee Lake, looking to the northeast, also shows Shingobee Lake, parts of the Shingobee River upstream and downstream of Shinogbee Lake, a portion of highway 34 between Akeley and Walker, and Leech Lake on the horizon at the upper edge of the photograph.



The second photograph is a view looking due south, showing the southern edge of Shingobee Lake, Little Shinogbee Lake, Steel Lake to the left and Island Lake to the right, and barely visible in the distance are Williams Lake to the left and Mary Lake to the right.
