The Red Door Resort | Fishing at Lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota

Red Door Resort Mid August Report

Mid August is here and the lake temps are finally relaxing (74 – 75 degrees). The warmer water has made the walleye more lethargic but we have seen a significant increase in the Smallie, Northern and Muskie bite along the northern side of Mille Lacs especially along the weeds. We look forward to another week of beautiful weather which we couldn’t buy early this summer. Many have been enjoying swimming, water sports, and family activities around the resort. This weekend, we will be hosting our beach party/relay races at 3pm on Saturday. Café is open 8am – 2pm Saturday and Sunday with Heggie’s pizza and tap beer available later day. Come on out and enjoy in the fun!

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.
