Pitt

Minnesota's ghost towns are lumber camps and Iron Range locations, most of them already half-digested by the north woods.

Pitt is a ghost town in Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, United States. The community is located west of Baudette on Minnesota State Highway 11 at the intersection with Lake of the Woods County Road 6.

The on-the-ground condition of Pitt is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Pitt is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
