It's always fishing season on Lake Vermilion.
In the summer, the Fortune Bay Marina has everything you need for a day on the lake. The bait shop features a wide assortment of fishing tackle, live bait, rods, and reels. There are plenty of snacks available and we are pleased to offer off-sale beer and wine coolers. There's even a complimentary fish cleaning shack for those anglers bringing in a stringer full of fish. We also have a complimentary outdoor kitchen to use for a shore lunch and family-friendly fishing docks for those who just want to try their luck from the shores.

Snow
go winter wild at fortune bay
When summer turns to winter and the lake freezes over, there's still plenty of adventure waiting right outside your door. Snowmobilers can take advantage of endless miles of well-groomed trails, made possible by the volunteer efforts of the Vermilion Penguin Snowmobile Club and other area clubs — with room packages available whether you're bringing the family or the entire group. Prefer to explore on foot? Snowshoe along a packed trail or blaze your own path across frozen Lake Vermilion.
Cross-Country Skiing & Ice Fishing on Lake Vermilion
For a quieter pace, our complimentary cross-country ski trails wind past incredible views of The Wilderness Golf Course, with multiple groomed routes to match any skill level. And when the lake ices over, it opens up some of the region's best winter fishing, with walleye, northern pike, crappie, and blue gill all in play. However you like to spend a winter day, Fortune Bay puts it all within easy reach.
