Our ice team headed out in the frigid weather yesterday and found ice from 11-14″ of good ice.   The extreme cold has created a pressure crack that we have an ATV bridge over which allows for ATV’s, Snowmobiles, and UTV’s; the bridge is 5′ wide so wider trailers will not cross.   Paul is now out plowing roads to set up our winter infrastructure.   We are building ice quickly and are looking to pull our rental and permanent ice houses out starting late weekend.    We will be checking the ice Thursday and Friday to see if we can open for vehicles and lite wheel houses.   Stay tuned for more information…..

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.
