Detroit Lakes Resorts


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a resort on Big Detroit in June. Any suggestions? It would be for the family. Thanks

I think the closest thing to a resort anymore on Big D is the new "Lodge" on Detroit

I believe Deadhead is right, but you could look for a place around there on anohter lake like Long Lake by vergas or something like that. Or any other resort with a good beach for your family where you can haul the boat to any lake you please, and there are a lot of them and the fish are usually biting somewhere.

How far is Vergas from Big D? Also do you have any recommended resorts?

Thanks

Vergas is about 15 mintues from Detroit. I've never stayed at any resorts in the area so I can't reccomend any to you.

I think there are some resorts on Melissa and Sallie also.

There is a fishing resort on Leek Lake, a few minutes SE of DL. Not sure how family friendly it is or where it is at exactally, jsut ran into the guy a few times while fishing it.

There's a resort on Big McDonald, and also one on Marion Lake in the Perham/Dent area...about a half hour or a little more from DL.

Lake Crest resort on Long Lake in DL, just west of Wal Mart. It is on the North end of the lake, with the entrance of it off of Hwy 10.

Im just wondering why you are looking mainly on Big D, is that where you plan on doing most of your fishing. It just helps to know how close you want to be too Big D.

Loves-Fishing Guy,

Do you have your own boat and motor? If so I would check out the newest resort and rv park in Minnesota, "The Cactus Resort and RV Park" in Perham, Mn. "The Cactus" is just minutes from Detroit Lake, Big Pine, Little Pine, Lake Rose, Long Lake, Lake Lida, Dead Lake , Star Lake , Battle Lake, Ottertail Lake Lizzie, Lake Crystal, Wymer Lake, and Pelican Lake and many others.

There are 7 golf courses nearby, an d restraunt ad lounge, bowling, a trap and skeet shooting range, indoor pool and sauna, and so much more.

The resort is having its open house on May 4th,5th, and 6th 2007. You will have to come and check us out. Its going to be a great place to stay for your weekend get-aways and vacations. Click on the banner above this page.

Good Luck and Fish On!!!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
