The Comfort Lakes are located in Chisago County, MN off Highway 8 approximately four miles east of Interstate 35. Big Comfort is on the north side of Highway 8 and Little Comfort is on the south side. The lakes vary in size with Big Comfort Lake spanning 219 acres and Little Comfort 36 acres.
The Comfort Lakes are the end point of the Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District hydrologic flow. Several sources of water feed into the lakes, including the Sunrise River, which exits Forest Lake, winding through the city of Wyoming and then into Big Comfort Lake. The Sunrise River exits the north end of Big Comfort.
