In French, Mille Lacs means one thousand lakes. As the largest lake in the Brainerd Lakes Area’s region of a thousand lakes, it is fitting that Mille Lacs is named the lake of a thousand lakes. Mille Lacs is the most popular fishing destination in Minnesota. Boasting a harvest on average of 300,000 walleye per annum as well as home to more than 40 species of fish, Mille Lacs is busy with fishing boats in warm weather and dotted with fishing huts when the lake ices over. Fishing is what has made Mille Lacs famous, but the area has so much more to offer for your Mille Lacs vacation. On your Mille Lacs vacation enjoy swimming and canoeing in the summers and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winters just outside the door of your Mille Lacs vacation rental. In the autumn, pack a lunch at your Mille Lac rental and then hike through Father Hennepin State Park for bird watching and a picnic under the fall colors. The site of one of the first settlements in Minnesota, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe American Indians has a rich history in the area. They invite visitors on Mille Lacs vacations to their museum which features the Four Seasons room with life sized dioramas depicting typical tribal life centuries ago and an original trading post still open today as a souvenir shop.
