Things to do in Lake Mille Lacs with FamilyFall activities in minnesota

Here in the great north, one of our favorite autumn activities is hiking. It’s easy to see why we love it so much because of the plethora of gorgeous views and nature teeming with natural wonders. Whether you enjoy discovering native birds and wildlife or simply enjoy a bit of fresh air and peeking out over an outlook, there are so many things to take in that you will definitely want to take your time to soak it up. Into photography? Grab your camera, because there are sure to be endless images to capture along the way. Check out places like the Fire Tower in Mille Lacs Kathio State Park, Father Hennepin State Park, and Mille Lacs Soo Line Trails.

If you aren’t a fan of hiking, you can easily take in the gorgeous autumn views from the comfort of your vehicle by taking a scenic drive. Venture down the Lake Mille Lacs Scenic Byway for lookouts and a relaxing drive that gives you access to some of the most beautiful spots along the lake without ever needing to step out of the car. Visit a few interesting stops along the way like the giant Walleye in Garrison and the Lake Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post along with several other local gems speckling your route. 

Fall Fishing at its Finest

Fall activities in minnesotaThough the autumn months offer plenty of fun fall activities in Lake Mille Lacs on dry land, those with a passion for casting a line can’t wait to hit the water. Smallmouth bass fishing on Mille Lacs is popular, but autumn is also when you might be able to catch a monster walleye, muskie or northern pike. Cooling water temperatures create the perfect environment to send hungry fish closer to the surface in search of their next meal. So, get your bait and lures ready, because a stellar fall fishing is fast approaching! 

Of course, fall brings hunting, as well. It’s the one time of year you can spend the morning hunting and the evening out on the water with the kids trying to catch a final fish dinner before the snow falls.

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.
