Description
Lake Vermillion was created by impounding waters from the east fork of the Vermillion River in 1958. The river itself was first noted on an 1801 map by a French trapper who called it Otter Stream.
The word vermillion means vivid red color. Some say the stream got its name from the outcropping of red quartzite along its bank.
