Anchor Lake is a lake in St. Louis County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[1] It is approximately 2 miles north of Central Lakes alongside U.S. Route 53. The 216-acre Anchor Lake Wildlife Management Area is located along the southern and eastern shores of the lake.[2]
Anchor Lake was so named on account of its outline being shaped like an anchor.[3]
