Rainy Lake Mermaid

The Rainy Lake Mermaid can only be accessed by boat. In 1932, Gordon A. Schlichting, a Minneapolis architect, carved the Mermaid while he was a student spending the summers on Rainy Lake. Located in Silver Island Narrows, near Copenhagen Island, the Mermaid watches over the comings and goings of the lake. Constructed out of steel rods, old boat props, and cement, the Mermaid is truly a work of art.
