About Lake Vermilion
Lake Vermilion is a freshwater lake in northeastern Minnesota. The Ojibwe originally called the lake Onamanii-zaaga’iganiing (occasionally anglicized as Nee-Man-Nee), which means “the evening sun tinting the water a reddish color”.
The lake contains a number of popular fish species including crappie, bass, muskie, northern pike, walleye, white sucker, and yellow perch. Lake Vermilion is known for its walleye and muskie fishing.
The lake attracts visitors from all parts of Minnesota and the midwestern United States, who lodge at the lake’s numerous resorts and hotels. Tourists are drawn by Lake Vermilion’s reputation as a fishing destination, as well as its setting in the northern Minnesota wilderness. The lake is near the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
