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

Lake Mille Lacs is over 20 miles from Brainerd. It's not accurate for Brainerd to claim this lake as their attraction. There are many other towns right on the lake being short-changed by this adveritsing practice. Brainerd IS a nice place to visit and Lake Mille Lacs IS a great fishing lake, but they should not be listed together.

Campground web site does not reflect the true nature of this resort. Lots are for sale here or seasonal lease as well as nightly rates of $35.00. All of the amenities listed are locked up tight. The only dumpster is at least 200 yards away. There is no management representative on site. The lake and dock is across a very... More

I have heard that the fishing at the lake is very good. I have friends that fish this lake regularly and are very happy with it. It is really hugh you can not see across to the other side . A beautiful driving road goes all the way around the lake.

Lake Mille Lacs is called walleye capital of Minnesota, and they have at least a dozen fishing launches to prove it. The launches will take you out for 4 hour excursons and supply everything you will need to catch walleye. The launches are quite good at putting you on the fish. The only thing you should bring is refreshments in... More
