The way the ice fishing village is setled with its roads and cars it's a very special view for a southern and a incredible exprience for some one to makepass with your car over the frozen lake, arrive to a refuge, and fishing on the soil of "your home" it's an expericne that should be done by any person bellow parallel 35

So many ways to enjoy this majestic lake. Driving along side on 169 gives you a view. Walking along gets you somewhat more in touch. Fishing is a great way for some. The reality is that this is a very beautiful, majestic place that has served thousands and thousands of people for food and recreation, for hundreds of years.

If you love to windsurf or kitesurf, look no further! You have reached the MECHA of wind sports at Mille Lacs. If you like to fish, oh well...WINDSURF!

90 minutes from the Twin Cities, just zip down highway 169 and drive around the lake during peak fall leaves. The colors are eye-popping, and it makes a great day trip.

Lake Mille Lacs is a great place to visit as any amenity possible is offered around the lake. Few fisheries offer the beauty infrastructure that is available around Lake Mille Lacs. Fishing has been a little slower but overall, there is no other lake where you can fish for so many big species.

This is a great get away just two hours north of the Twin Cities. The two state parks and casino along with numerous resorts and resturants make for a enjoyable weekend. The fishing can be good or just plan bad.

So I'll admit it right away... We're a bit biased about Mille Lacs. We own a lake home on Mille Lacs just outside of Garrison. Great fishing with plenty of public/free boat launches (the one we prefer is just north of Terry's on 169).Great lake for water sports though note that the lake is large and water is on the colder side (we only swim in the lake during July/August). Great lake for kayaking though make sure you wear a life vest, and unless you are professionally trained it is best to stick along the perimeter of the lake.Lake is very clear and maximum depth is less than 50'. Water can get very rough with short notice so always be prepared.

Peaceful place with great fishing. The only thing that I didn't like was people move slow to take care of you. I loved my trip and would highly recommend it to anyone going.

Lake Mille Lacs is a beautiful display of all that Minnesota has to offer. Great fishing both summer and winter, gorgeous views, beaches, great resorts and restaurants (Red Door Resort and Motel and their WayPointe Cafe is excellent on north Mille Lacs and closest to Brainerd), and overall, a must see when visiting the Brainerd area. Few lakes offer the incredible scenery and quality outdoor experience of Lake Mille Lacs. Fished here a number of times and it never disappoints!

We cruised out into the depths (ha ha the deepest part of the lake is less than 20feet-maybe less than 12feet?) of Wahkon bay where we drifted among charming little islands (some with buildings some without), clear waters, and mostly sunny skies. There were some speed boats and skiers but it's such a big lake (we never even got out of the bay) that it didn't interfere with our luxury at all. love it.

lots of lake area but nothing to do unless you have a boat. Drove around half the lake and hardly ANY beach area or public places to enter the lake for swimming or sitting on the shore.

I spent a weekend fishing here with a friend who had a cabin on the lake. I was here in October, so the morning were cold on the lake, but once the sun came up it was warm. We spent our time catching Walleye. I had never been Walleye fishing, but I had a great time a caught a few Walleye. The lake is huge.

At Hunter Winfields they were tell you the fishing is great. It sucks!!! didn't catch a fish in 3 days. Then when on to lake of the woods and hammered on them.

Lovely, large lake with lots to do. Visit the Waypoint Cafe at the Red Door Resort for a fabulous, well priced meal.
