A lake in the Boundary Waters

A quiet lake in the Boundary Waters from the day I hiked Eagle Mountain, Minnesota's high point, in June 2026. Late afternoon, blue sky starting to open up, old logs half sunk along the shore, and a forested hill rising across the water. It was in the low 60s and a little breezy.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a maze of lakes and portages along the Canadian border. I took this on the same day as the Eagle Mountain hike, with that clear water and those fallen logs along the edge.
