Geography

Star Lake is named so because it consists of a main circular lake with three arms stretching out to resemble points of a star. It is also believed to have been formed by a meteor/space debris upon impact, unlike the majority of the lakes that were created by the glaciers. The lake covers an area of 4721 acre, and is known to be very deep just off the eastern shores of the lake, reaching a maximum depth of 94 ft. Star lake is located at 46.51667°N, -95.8°W. The lake drains through a small channel into the slightly larger Dead Lake directly to its southeast.
