Fishing:
"The best Smallie lake in the state." Al Lindner, founder of In-Fisherman magazine.
Lake Vermilion is known for wallleye, bass, and now is a premier muskie lake as well. Ludlow's professional guides host a weekly fishing clinic. The staff cleans your fish and cares for your boat. There are fishing equipped boats available for rent.
The privacy of our island setting makes it a great place to escape for a honeymoon or special occasion. Only guests are allowed on the island, so children are free to explore, take a canoe to our nearby camping island, or enjoy swimming on our safe sand beach.
