Leech Lake in summer has something the Boundary Waters doesn’t: amenities. Great restaurants, charming small town, world-class fishing, and a massive beautiful lake.
1. Chase walleye at dawn
Summer walleye feed aggressively early morning and late evening. The docks and boat lifts at both Leech Lake properties make launching effortless.
2. The sand beach
Loon Lodge has one of the best private beaches — pure sand, gradual slope, perfect for kids. Kayaks included.
3. Downtown Walker
Great restaurants, the Walker Art Fair each August, charming shops.
4. Sunset from the deck
Both properties have stunning lake-facing decks. Summer sunsets on Leech Lake are spectacular.
5. Muskie
Leech Lake is a premier muskie fishery. Lake record is over 54 inches.
