This is our kind of fair food. 🔥

Sure, it's State Fair season, and we love a good corn dog as much as anyone. But if you're craving fun without the $30 parking, the crowds, and the long lines… might we suggest you head north instead!

On Lake Vermilion, the food on a stick is a marshmallow roasted over a crackling fire. 🔥 The only "parking" is your boat tied to the dock. 🛶 And the only lines you'll wait in are the ones you cast into the water.

Relax & enjoy the original food on a stick. We saved you a seat by the fire. 🌲

🐻 The guest list at Everett Bay Lodge: a belted kingfisher, a great blue heron, a pileated woodpecker, a deer, a bear, and one very photogenic frog. 🐸

Talk about a wild bunch! 😄 Our friends at Everett Bay Lodge captured some incredible visitors around the resort lately - proof that on Lake Vermilion, the neighbors are a little on the wild side. 🦌🐾

In the Northwoods, you never quite know who'll swoop in, wander by, or pose for a photo. Morning coffee on the dock might come with a heron gliding past or a woodpecker drumming in the pines.

Huge thanks to Everett Bay Lodge for sharing these beauties. 📸 Who else has spotted wildlife on the lake? Show us your best shots in the comments! 👇

😌 Happy National Relaxation Day!

The rest of the country gets one day for this. Around here, it's just called… a day. 🌲

On Lake Vermilion, relaxing isn't something you schedule - it's the natural order of things. A quiet morning and an afternoon that goes exactly nowhere except maybe where the fish are biting. No agenda. No notifications. Just you, the water, and the woods. 💙

Relax. Slow down. Unplug. That's not a holiday up here. It's a way of life.

So while everyone else savors their one day, remember there's a whole lake full of them waiting for you. Whenever you're ready, find your way, find your stay. 🔗 lakevermilionresorts.com

🍂 There's nothing like fall on Lake Vermilion.

Crisp evenings by the campfire. Walleye biting. Trails lit up in gold and crimson. Leaves drifting down over quiet water. This is the season you wait all year for. 🔥🎣🥾

And it's closer than you think – Labor Day is September 7th, less than a month away. ⏳

So here's your reminder: make your plans now. Check out the LVRTA lodging options for availability, specials, and events. Come squeeze every last drop out of summer over the long weekend, then stick around and watch the lake trade its green for gold. One last hurrah, and a front-row seat to the most beautiful season up north.

The colors are coming. Will you be here to see them? 👇

🎣 The bite is on – round up your crew!

If you've been waiting for a sign to finally plan that Lake Vermilion fishing trip, the guides just gave you one.

From the last week – Patriot Guide Service of Lake Vermilion: "Fishing continues to improve on Vermilion. We are reporting a very strong bite this week!" And Fishing with Z Guide Services LLC: "Arguably some of the best mid-July fishing I've seen in the last few years! The second half of the season has started strong and it's only going to get better."

And here's the thing: it does keep getting better. Fall is some of the best fishing of the whole year on Vermilion.

But as Al Lindner, who's fished this lake for over 50 years, reminds us, it's about more than the catch: "Beyond the rods and reels, Vermilion is a full-package experience. With dozens of resorts catering to all budgets, excellent restaurants, and all the amenities an outdoorsperson could hope for, it's as much a place to relax and recharge as it is to chase fish."

📺 Al's got you covered on where and how:
- Late Summer Muskie Hunt → https://lakevermilionresorts.com/a-late-summer-muskie-hunt-on-lake-vermilion/
- Early Fall Walleye Fishing → https://lakevermilionresorts.com/early-fall-walleye-fishing/
- Fall Crappie Fishing on Lake Vermilion → https://lakevermilionresorts.com/fall-crappie-fishing-on-lake-vermilion/

Grab your buddies, pick your time, choose a resort, and go.
