The Ripple River (at one time called the Mud River) flows into the lake on the west side and out on the northeast into Little Pine. It flows through a number of lakes and empties into the Mississippi River in Aitkin.
​
There are 3 islands on the lake. The largest is Farm Island, or big island, at 29 acres. It gets its name from the Ojibwa who had large farm fields on the island prior to 1900.
