Directions and Factoids
Directions: 35 miles North East of Brainerd, MN.
Factoid: You will find something unique about a vacation in Minnesota's lake country. The six
unique lakes, Gull Lake, Cross Lake (part of the Whitefish Chain), Big Sandy Lake,
Pokegama Lake, Leech Lake, and Lake Winnibigoshish, are roughly bounded by a triangle from
Brainerd to Bemidji to Grand Rapids in central Minnesota. Campfires, sunsets and the
peacefulness of the water make each day a special event. From the first days of summer to
the golden days of fall, and throughout the year, visitors to the Mississippi River
Headwaters Lakes Project enjoy a special experience that is Minnesota at its best. Visit
our web site for more information and directions and maps to the lakes.
NOTICE: Many states are discouraging or banning movement of firewood to control spread of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Not bringing wood from home to your campsite and not taking unused wood you procure while camping home with you is recommended -- required in some states.
