Ice Road Out of Red Door Resort Access on Lake Mille Lacs

Mille Lacs Ice Report 1/7/2021

Red Door Access Is Open to Walk-On, Snowmobile, ATV and Side by Side Traffic

The Red Door access is open to walk-on, snowmobile, ATV and side by side traffic for the weekend.  Small wheelhouses will be allowed to be towed onto the lake with an ATV or UTV; the Red Door will also offer tow service for an additional fee.  Please call the resort (218-678-3686) to have your small wheelhouse approved for tow out.

The Ice Team has a road plowed out to the north side of Weimer and Bomback flats.  The road is further staked as far south as Pantry flat.  Do connect with the office before heading out onto the lake we have had an active crack that has required an ATV bridge earlier in the week.

The ice continues to improve.  However, with the warmer weather and snow from las week, things haven’t progressed as quickly as we would have liked.  The first 4/10ths of a mile out of the access continues to be the most challenging.  When the Ice Team checked depths along our plowed road they found a few of spots with 8” of ice.  (This are had 11-12” of ice before that ice sheet separated from shore and blew away right before Christmas.)  The ice sampling on the flats consistently yielded 11” or more or ice.

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.
