  • Natural Lakefront Living:

Wynne and Sabin Lake

In a region internationally known as a showcase for the mighty glaciers' handiwork, Wynne (pronounced "Wine") and Sabin Lake have a unique history of their own. The inlet of the Embarrass River feeds into the northern end of the lake chain and is known as the Height of Land Portage. As a primary voyageurs' portage connection between Rainy and Vermilion Lakes, Height of Land Portage is on the National Register of Historic Places. And while a favorite with visitors to Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort, the lakes retain a reputation for being spacious and un-crowded. Water recreation enthusiasts will have plenty of room to play in the un-congested waters, while modern- day voyageurs can venture north by canoe to the Height of Land Portage and relive a bygone era.
