Mille Lacs Ice Report 12/25/2020

Red Door Access Remains Closed

Three inches of ice is better than two inches of ice.  Even so the Red Door access will remain closed for the balance of the day and all day tomorrow (Saturday, 12/26).

The cold weather has allowed the Red Door access to go from open water to three inches of ice in the last 48 hours.  Winds are predicted to be limited over the weekend, so hopefully that coupled with the cool weather – averages temperatures in in the mid to high teens – will keep progression strong.  The Ice Team is anxious to have walkable hard water so cracks can be inspected with a closer eye and depths can be tested further out.

Below is Kristen Marie’s video of the Red Door access from this morning.  Enjoy the holiday!

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.
