White Bear Lake (Dakota: Mathó Ská Bdé) is a lake in northeastern Ramsey County and western Washington County in the U.S. state of Minnesota, in the northeast part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.[2] The city of White Bear Lake takes its name from the lake.
In 2016 a musical, The Legend of White Bear Lake,[3] was produced by Youth Music Theatre UK and produced at the Barbican Theatre, Plymouth, England. Book music and lyrics were by Caroline Wigmore and Jennifer Green. The musical told the tale of the white bear after whom the lake is named.
