This is the St. James mine pit, now filled with water so clear, you can drink it right out of the pit. In fact, that’s where our city water comes from. Makes great coffee. The water is a beautiful green-blue because it’s almost 500 feet deep.

Stunning view. Do you spend much time on the lake?

I spend a lot of time around the lake, but it’s our drinking water, so we don’t allow motor boats, but these pits are great for kayaking or canoeing

Iron ore mine. On the Mesabi Range, here, they’re everywhere. When the iron ore was gone, all these pits filled with water, many are quite scenic.
