Ice Report

Christmas Eve Ice Report

Our access continues to be open to “walk out” traffic only as there is ~3” of ice covered by about 3” of water and slush and sandwiched by a few more inches of white ice. Many ATVs broke through the ice around the lake this past weekend. We are going to remain cautious and not allow ATV’s, side by sides or snowmobiles out of our access yet. We have gotten reports and pictures of some great fishing along the first break, which is only about 1,000 feet out from our access. We will continue to flood the access to help build strong ice and continue to prepare for future travel. We plan to provide another Ice Report update on Friday. In the meantime, we wish you are very Merry Christmas!

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.
