Ice Fishing
The fish house count has
exceeded 5,500 in recent winters. Plowed lake roads
provide access to the fish houses, which can be rented in half-day
increments. Furnishings vary from the bare minimum to a home away
from home, with gas heaters, cook stoves, tables, chairs, bunks,
carpeting, paneling, curtains, lighting, separate bathrooms and/or
nearby satellite toilet facilities.You can do it yourself or take advantage of the ice fishing packages
around the lake, offering anything you want from overnight lodging, and transportation to
and from the ice house, to bait, tackle and meals.

Mille Lacs Lake business owners and residents devote almost constant scrutiny and
analysis to ice conditions on the lake. In excessively cold Novembers the lake has frozen
over by Thanksgiving, but normally the first ice fishing activity starts around the first
week of December near shore and in sheltered bays. By mid-December the lake is usually
frozen over. It freezes all the way across by late winter, with ice sometimes 3
feet thick. March usually signals the demise of Frostbite Flats.
