Lake Vermilion is well known as one of the most scenic lakes in the country. Its 40,000 acres stretch for nearly 30 miles across the heart of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region. Bordering the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and almost completely surrounded by the Superior National Forest, Vermilion is as close as you can get to a wilderness experience while still enjoying unrestricted access and all the amenities and comforts of a first-class resort area.

Lake Vermilion is characterized by both rocky shoreline and sandy beaches; hundreds of small protected bays and large expanses of open water; inhabited areas with all the services you need and miles of undeveloped forested lakeshore.

When is comes to lodging, you'll find whatever you are looking for at Lake Vermilion. Our resorts have been serving guests for over 100 years!
