Crescent Lake is a lake located in Tofte Township and Lutsen Township, Cook County, Minnesota. Crescent Lake lies to the south of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, along Forest Route 170. To the north, Crescent Lake receives water from Kinogami Lake, through Willow Creek, in the Willow Creek Unit, a 1360 acre roadless area inventoried by the Forest Service's second Roadless Area Review & Evaluation in 1979, but not added to the BWCA. To the east, Crescent Lake is connected to Bouder Lake by a shallow, but navigable channel, and also drains Lichen Lake. To the south, Crescent Lake empties through a series of small lakes into Rice Lake which in turn drains into the Poplar River and ultimately into Lake Superior.
