Picket Lake is an unorganized territory located in Saint Louis County, Minnesota, United States. As of the 2000 census, its population was zero.

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the unorganized territory has a total area of 37 square miles (24,000 acres) or 95.8 km2, of which approximately 95% is land and the rest is water.[1] The United States Forest Service describes Picket Lake as an area comprising 383 lake acres and 4097 acres of National Forest land.[2][3]

The closest town to the lake is Orr.[3] The Forest Service provides three backcountry campsites around the lake, and the parking lot is accessible via Forest Road 477.[3]
