Named after Washington Irving, the American author, the lake is easily accessible from Lake Bemidji via the Mississippi River, though boaters should exercise caution while navigating the river channel due to current bridge structures and old railroad pilings. A 2022 fish survey revealed healthy populations of Walleye averaging 16 inches with sizes ranging from 7 to 25 inches, along with excellent fishing for Northern Pike, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Muskellunge, and Largemouth Bass. The Walleye population is sustained through upstream and downstream fish movement from connected lakes and natural reproduction, with 11 year classes captured. Public boat launch access is available on the north end adjacent to the city's facilities, making the lake ideal for fishing, boating, water sports, and kayaking year-round\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated within the charming city of Bemidji, known as the First City on the Mississippi River and surrounded by over 400 lakes within a 25-mile radius, Lake Irving offers convenient access to exceptional attractions and outdoor recreation.
