Welcome to YBC – Pokegama! This 6,700-acre lake near Grand Rapids, MN, is the largest of a series of lakes on the Upper Mississippi River that includes Jay Gould Lake, Little Jay Gould Lake and others. Though its shoreline is well developed, the lake is deep, clear and has a reputation for producing above-average walleyes, according to Team Northland angler Brian “Bro” Brosdahl (Northland Fishing Tackle).

THINGS TO DO AND SEE
dining
Located right by the boat club, enjoy expectional views and delicious food at the Pickled Loon. Or, head across the river to Zorbaz, where you can enjoy a variety of drinks, delicious pizzas, pasta, and much more.
shopping
Spread out your towel and soak up the sun! Beach the boat at Nesbitt Island and enjoy the shallow sandbar, perfect for swimming.
swimming
With 57 miles of shoreline, you’re sure to find the perfect spot to lay down your beach towel. Check out Tioga Beach on the northern side of the lake—it's a beautiful place to take a dip or let the kids build their sandcastles.
fishing
This lake has long, narrow bays and sprawling areas with humps and offshore structures. When the wind picks up, find a sheltered spot to fish for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and muskie. Stop in Pokegama Lake Store for live bait.
sightseeing
While it's tempting to stay on the lake all day, you won't regret exploring the surrounding areas. Chippewa National Forest to the north offers great hiking and wildlife viewing, or you can check out the Judy Garland Museum.
