LAKE VERMILION
Lake of the Sunset Glow
365 islands. 290 miles of shoreline. One unforgettable Northwoods lake.
The Ojibwe called it Onamuni – the lake of the sunset glow – for the way evening light sets the water alight. Spend one night on Lake Vermilion and you'll understand. This is a place of pine-ringed islands and quiet bays, of loon calls at dusk. Whether you come to fish, paddle, explore, or simply slow down, there's a shoreline waiting for you here.

A Lake for Every Season
The lake changes with the calendar, and every season is its own reason to visit.
SPRING
Spring is the great fishing opener tradition and time to dust off the cobwebs of winter.
SUMMER
Summer brings open water for boating, swimming, and shore lunches.
FALL
No season is more beautiful than fall, and the fishing can be at its best!
WINTER
Winter transforms Vermilion into a playground of snowmobile trails and ice fishing holes all across the lake.
