Things To Do On Lake Vermilion in Tower, MN
Whether you're into fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, or canoeing, our resort puts you right on the water with easy access to some of the best recreation the north woods has to offer.

Come experience the fun and adventure for yourself.
Things To Do in Tower, MN
Our marina is just the start. We're also home to one of the top public golf courses in the country — The Wilderness, a one-of-a-kind course with breathtaking views and rock outcroppings woven right into the terrain. You don't have to golf to enjoy it, either: the clubhouse patio is a great spot to take in the scenery, and in winter the course transforms into a scenic cross-country skiing trail.
Explore nearly 40,000 acres of water and make the catch of the day on Lake Vermilion.
The fish are always biting on Lake Vermilion. Drop your line from one of our boat rentals or the shore in the summer or from your ice house in the winter.
When summer turns to winter and the lake freezes over, there’s still plenty to do, from snowmobiling to ice fishing to cross-country skiing. The adventure awaits right outside the door!
