About Us

Located in Cass County, the four lakes of Wabedo, Little Boy, Cooper, and Rice lie south and east of Longville, Minnesota. The lakes are part of the Leech Lake Watershed area.

Wabedo flows north into Little Boy. Little Boy flows eastward into Rice Lake where the Boy River connects. Cooper drains into the Boy River upstream of Rice Lake. The flowage then moves north through Inguadona into Big Boy and then northwest into Leech Lake.
