12/16/16 Ice Report

The Red Door Resort & Motel access will open today to ATV’s and Snowmobiles, no UTV’s or vehicles allowed yet.   We are finding a fairly consistent 5 – 5 3/4′ of ice which we have placed markers out to the first break.   Garrison reports show a very good bite with most success in shallow and we expect the same across the north end.  Due to the extreme cold weather this weekend, keep a careful watch for cracks as there are some in the area.   North of Weimer, there is an active crack that we expect to open up a bit as the weather drops.   It is still early ice so extreme caution is required for safety.   We recommend that fishing the first break or shallower this weekend will be key to success and safety.  Bundle up, stay warm and enjoy the early bite!

Activities at Red Door

The Red Door Resort offers a number of activities at or near the resort. Our swimming beach has a sandy lake bottom that stretches out from shore. Activities available at the main resort include a playground, basketball, and gaga ball pit.

Mille Lacs Lake features a world renowned fishery and is also great for recreational use, including swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, wind surfing, kayaking and canoeing. Off the lake there are walking, hiking and snowmobiling opportunities; many of the trails wind through hundreds of acres of beautiful state land and are accessible year round. The area around the resort has a high concentration of sugar maples, which means that, in the fall, the area has some of the most vibrant colors in the state.

The resort is only minutes away from excellent hunting land, state parks, and golf courses. Further afield, you can access the Grand Casino Mille Lacs, Brainerd International Raceway, Paul Bunyan Land, Wealthwood Rod and Gun Club, and the Mille Lacs Indian Museum.
