One is located near Grand Rapids in Itasca County.[1][2] The lake was made into a reservoir by the construction of the Pokegama Lake Dam on the Mississippi River in Cohasset, Minnesota. The other Pokegama is located near Pine City in Pine County.[3]
Pokegama is a name derived from the Ojibwe language Bakegamaa meaning "the water which juts off from another water," [4] which describes the lake's connection to its near-by river: to the Snake River in Pine County, and to the Mississippi River in Itasca County.
