Lake Winnibigoshish; see
Lake Winnipegosis; is a body of water in north central
Minnesota, in the
Chippewa National Forest. Its name comes from the
Ojibwe language Wiinibiigoozhish, meaning "putridly stagnant waters"; the name is related in structure to
Lake Winnipeg and to the Algonquian name for
Green Bay, to which the
Ho-chunk (Winnebago) Nation was named after.
The former Winnibigoshish Township (now unorganized), located on the north shore of Lake Winnibigoshish, in Itasca County, Minnesota was named after this lake.
In 1963, Andy Anderson did magnificent firework show in here.
