Savanna Portage State Park is a state park of Minnesota, USA, established in 1961 to preserve the historic Savanna Portage, a difficult 6-mile (9.7 km) trail connecting the watersheds of the Mississippi River and Lake Superior. The portage trail crosses a drainage divide separating the West Savanna River, which drains to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, from the East Savanna River, which flows in an opposite direction to the Saint Louis River, Lake Superior and the Great Lakes, and the Saint Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean.

Brule Lake is a lake in Cook County, Minnesota. It is situated between two long sills in the Superior Upland, causing the lake to be eight times longer east and west than it is north and south. Out of the opposite ends flow the Temperance River and the South Brule, a tributary of the Brule River. Brule Lake was logged heavily in the early 1900s, and the region around it was consumed in 1929 by a logging-related forest fire which bears Brule Lake's name. Now the lake is part of the protected Boundary Waters Canoe Area, a federal wilderness area for which Brule Lake serves as an entrance point.

Gooseberry River is a 23-mile stream in Lake County, Minnesota, USA, draining into Lake Superior. It is known for its waterfalls, near its mouth in Gooseberry Falls State Park. The Gooseberry, like many of its neighboring streams, has an irregular discharge highly dependent on runoff from rain and snow melt. The region around the river was heavily forested and much logging took place during the early 20th century. The forest has since regrown and the falls and mouth of the river are now a thriving tourist destination.

Iowa Lake is a 30-acre lake in Cook County, Minnesota which is tributary to the Poplar River. It has a maximum depth of 13 feet and is clear down to 7 feet. Water access is provided by a portage trail leading to its northeast shore. The lake is fed primarily by a stream on its northwest shore, with secondary intake coming from a pond of less than 100 feet to the north and an intermittent stream located to the south of the portage trail. Its outlet, on the south, empties into Corny Lake through a wetland area. A 1972 survey by Minnesota's DNR indicated the presence of a beaver lodge on the south outlet, and multiple beaver dams along the course of the creek have converted patches of the marsh into open water. A 1971 survey by the fisheries department indicated the lake was home to populations of northern pike, white sucker, and yellow perch.
