Wood Lake out of Ely comes to mind. Its in BWCA so no gas augers if fishing. It’s a relatively popular spot for some but not a bad hike in, a couple decent sites to set up camp, and pretty good fishing if that’s part of your plan...

I would suggest you go first to this thread, which has information on plowing status of roads and parking areas that will pretty much determine your opportunities:

The Wood Lake suggestion is a good one (I'll be there this coming weekend), several folks have recently mentioned Fall Lake, and I had a really good experience on North Hegman last year. Agree with the suggestion to check access to entry points, also the thread regarding slush, which can be an unexpected and severely limiting factor.

My husband and I went to Parent Lake out of Snowbank a few years ago, and didn't see anyone. This was over President's Day weekend.
