Lake Ozawindib offers opportunities for fishing and boating, and the location provides access to Itasca State Park's extensive network of hiking and biking trails, including portions of the North Country National Scenic Trail. The park features over 32,000 acres and more than 100 lakes, with old-growth pine forests and the headwaters of the Mississippi River as key attractions.
