12/23/16 Ice & Fishing Report

We are off to a great start of the 1016/17 ice season!   Bite continues to be exciting out front of the Red Door with the best reports transitioning towards the flats.   Bite in 10-12 FOW off the first break continues to be strong and we have received a number of spectacular reports from the deep side of the mud in 26-29 FOW, especially great from 3pm through the night bite.   Multiple fish in multiple year classes with the majority falling in the 16 – 25″ range and many of our guests stop in at the office to share their success and excitement.  Ice measures 7 1/2″ to 9 1/2″  and is building slowly.  Thanks to everyone that has been coming out and we want to wish the best for a safe and enjoyable holiday season!!img_2749 img_2748

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.
