| | Pekan Lake |
 | | Pekan is a very small, relatively shallow lake, in the Lac La Croix drainage basin, 17½ miles east of Crane Lake and 28½ miles NNW of Ely. |
 | | Pekan is a short bushwhack portage to the east of Green Lake which is, in turn, a link in the Gebeonequet/Oyster route, running south from the mouth of Gebeonequet Creek on Pocket Creek, through Gebeonequet, Green, and Rocky lakes, to Oyster. |
 | | Pekan Lake is probably named for the Pekan, another name for the large northern weasel, the Fisher (Martes pennanti) once trapped extensively for its rich, silver-tipped fur and sold as sable. |
