About Federal Dam

Tucked along the quiet northeastern shore of Leech Lake in Cass County, Federal Dam is a tiny community where life revolves around the water. The town grew around the historic federal dam where the lake empties into the Leech Lake River, making it a favorite launch point for walleye fishing, boating, and paddling. Surrounded by the pines of the Chippewa National Forest and the Leech Lake Reservation, it offers a tranquil, scenic setting for anyone seeking a peaceful and easygoing Northwoods pace.
