Lake Metigoshe

Both Bottineau County, North Dakota, and the Rural Municipality of Winchester, Manitoba, share Lake Metigoshe, a 1,544-acre (625 ha) body of water. The lake can get as deep as 24 feet (7.3 m). On the border between Canada and the United States, it is situated in the Turtle Mountains. Only the northernmost tip of the lake lies in Canada; the rest is mostly inside the borders of the United States. A sizable portion of the lake's shoreline is included in the Lake Metigoshe State Park. It offers picnicking, modern and rustic camping places, swimming, canoeing, sailing, water skiing, and other water sports. The sole international waterskiing club in the United States is the Skinautiques waterskiing club.

When visiting Lake Metigoshe, take in views of the Turtle Mountains from your vacation rental. Rent kayaks or canoes from the visitor center at the nearby Lake Metigoshe State Park, or take a stroll along the shoreline trails to take in the scenery. Treat the family to some comfort food at The Dockside Bar when hunger strikes.
