About Leech Lake

  • Leech Lake is one of the largest lakes in Minnesota. It's irregular shape with many large and small bays makes for lots of “secret” fishing spots.
  • Leech Lake is well known among Minnesota anglers for its walleye, northern pike, jumbo perch and muskellunge fishing.
  • Leech Lake also provides quality angling opportunities for largemouth bass, black crappie, and sunfish in several shallow vegetated bays.

Catch of the Day Walker MN

Minnesota’s most elusive fish, the muskie waits for you here on Leech Lake.  Experience the challenge of landing a tiger striped muskie possibly over 50” long and the thrill as it follows your lure to the boat - will it strike this time?

Professional fishing and hunting guides are available. We have selected the very best adventure guides in their chosen fields. Each guide has met strict requirements of Adventure North Resort to assure that your experience is all that it can be.

Similar to the other large walleye lakes in Minnesota, the DNR has imposed an experimental slot limit.  Any walleye from 18 inches to 26 inches must be immediately returned to the water. Only one walleye over 26 inches is allowed in a possession limit of four walleye. This regulation is one component of a multi-faceted approach to maintaining the walleye fishery on Leech Lake. This will protect walleye brood stock, which is essential to the long-term health of the Leech Lake walleye fishery. Other important elements of the plan include a walleye stocking and an increased focus on habitat protection.

Please Note: All guests 16 years and older please bring your Social Security Number to process Minnesota DNR Fishing Licenses.

“Eighty-eight miles of non-motorized trails pass through some of the best grouse habitat on the Chippewa National Forest.  These areas move through small, well-distributed timber stands and openings to provide the different aged forest habitat on which many game animals thrive.  The trails are mowed periodically to help maintain vegetation and food sources utilized by wildlife during the fall season.  In addition to offering excellent grouse and deer hunting opportunities, these trails also provide excellent hiking, cross country skiing and wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the year.”
