Koochiching Wetland in Bigfork, Minnesota, is a privately owned fish and wildlife pond that serves as a vital resource for the local ecosystem. Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR EWR), this wetland covers an area of 60 acres and has a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet. Located near Moose Brook-TR, the wetland plays a crucial role in supporting the region's biodiversity and wildlife population.

With a low hazard potential and no associated structures, Koochiching Wetland has been deemed to be in good condition, though it has not been formally rated. The last inspection of the site was conducted in April 2012, with a frequency of every 8 years. While the wetland currently meets regulatory guidelines, there is no detailed emergency action plan (EAP) in place, raising potential concerns for future management and risk assessment. Overall, Koochiching Wetland stands as a testament to the importance of preserving and protecting water resources in the face of climate change and increasing environmental pressures.
