Lake Vermilion

You can discover Lake Vermilion, one of Minnesota's biggest and most picturesque lakes, in Saint Louis County in the state's northwest. This 15,000-acre lake, which bears the name of a French fur trader, offers some of the best fishing. The National Geographic Society named it one of the nation's most picturesque lakes in the 1940s.

"The evening sun coloring the lake a reddish tone" is the meaning of this previous name. The French fur traders translated the lake's Latin-based original name into its current English name, "Vermilion."

It is worthwhile to get up so early to visit the lake at sunrise since you will see a stunning display of hues and a memorable panorama. Both locals and foreign tourists visit the lake to soak in the natural beauty since the water is pristine and the sky above it is large and stunning.

To make the most of a trip in northern Minnesota, there are many lodges and resorts in the area around Lake Vermilion. Visitors can engage in golf, berry picking, geocaching, or swimming after a day spent boating, swimming, or fishing. In the adjacent towns, there are also many shops and restaurants that can be reached by boat, so you may pick up some keepsakes to remember your memorable vacation.
