4. Round
Round Lake is a 2,828-acre lake located within the Chippewa National Forest in western Itasca County. Maximum depth is 24 feet with an average of 12 feet. These depths combined with the dark water lead to warmer spring water and a great fishing opener. Round is well known for its jumbo perch and good walleye fishing.  
5. Island
Island Lake is a 3,088-acre lake located in the northwest corner of Itasca County. The lake has an excellent habitat for its walleye population. However, fishing the lake on fishing opener is not recommended. Memorial weekend through June are a better bet. The lake has an average depth of 35 feet with an average of 17 feet.
