Mille Lacs Ice Report 12/27/2020

Red Door Access Open for Walk On Traffic

Starting tomorrow (Monday) morning, the Red Door access will be open again for walk on traffic.  The Ice Team found at least 4 consistent inches of ice just outside of the access in the area where the ice sheet blew away, exposing a vast swath of open water, last Wednesday, December 23rd.  The ice depth improves – sometimes significantly – further out.  Following a planned exploration this coming Wednesday, we will provide more specific details of the findings, including commentary on ice depth and consistency, and will predict the chances of allowing ATV and snowmobile traffic by the weekend.  Enjoy the last week of 2020!  We will keep you updated and look forward to seeing you at the Red Door.

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.
