Description
Kivaniva is a small, relatively deep
lake on the southeastern stretch of the Boulder/Kawishiwi Loop, 15½
miles SSW of Gunflint Trail's End and 34½ miles ENE of Ely. Almost
1 mile long on its east/west axis and quite narrow, it is almost 50' deep.
At its east end portages lead north 40 rods to Anit, and south 25 rods to
the broad Kawishiwi River. To the north and west lies the backcountry of
the Humpback Lake Primitive Management
Area.
Campsites
Kivaniva is a small lake, with but one
designated campsite, along the north shore near the portage to Anit.
Planning Considerations
Kivaniva is a link in a chain of lakes
running from Makwa in the north to the Kawishiwi
River, which chain is itself a part of the great loop of interior lakes
arching up from Makwa over to Boulder, and then back southward through Beaver
to return to the slow moving Kawishiwi.
Wildlife
Kivaniva supports a varied population
of Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus),
Northern Pike (Esox lucius),
Rock Bass (Ambloplites rupestris),
Walleye (Stizostedion
vitreum), White Sucker (Catostomus
commersoni), and Yellow Perch (Perca
flavescens).
