The south outlet drains to the Minam River, and the north outlet is the source of the Lostine River.[3] A natural lake at this spot had only a south outlet. In the early 20th century, the lake was enlarged and its flow altered by a {{convert|14|ft|m|adj=on}} high dam near the south end of the lake. The dam's purpose was to store additional water and to deflect it north for irrigation of farms in the Lostine Valley.[3] It is said that minam is a word that evolved in the mid-19th century from the native word e-mi-ne-mah. The latter referred to the Minam River Valley, where a kind of plant with edible roots grew in abundance. Mah was a suffix meaning valley or canyon.[4] {{wide image|Minam Lake, Flickr pano.jpg|750px|align-cap=center|Panorama of the lake}}See also
