Fishing! Renowned as a premiere Minnesota walleye and northern pike lake, Vermilion is also one of the best small and large mouth bass lakes in the state.

Our on-going stocking of walleye pike (since 1968) and voluntary "selective harvest" assures continued populations. And recent stockings of Muskellunge add an exciting dimension. Our weekly fishing clinics and available guides insure an exciting adventure.

Fish, swim, ski, sail, canoe, explore! Come enjoy Vermilion with us!
We hope that the 50 plus years Ludlow's has been under the same ownership translates into a sincere and caring hospitality awaiting you. Come join us on Lake Vermilion this year!
