2. Fishing Extravaganza: Lake Vermilion is renowned for its exceptional fishing opportunities, and fall offers a unique angling experience. The cooler temperatures bring an abundance of fish, including walleye, muskie, and bass, closer to the surface. Spend a relaxing day on the lake, either fishing from the shore or out on a boat, and try your luck in reeling in a big catch. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a novice looking to learn, there are local fishing guides to assist you in making the most of your fishing adventure.
3. Kayaking and Canoeing Amidst Nature’s Glory: Discover the serene beauty of Lake Vermilion by paddling along its tranquil waters. Use one of our complimentary Paddle North kayaks, stand up paddle boards or a canoe and  explore the hidden coves, inlets, and shoreline, all adorned in the vibrant colors of fall. As you glide through the calm waters, you’ll have the chance to spot various bird species, including eagles and loons, and might even catch glimpses of curious wildlife along the shoreline.
4. Cozy Bonfires, saunas and Lakeside Relaxation: As the evening chill sets in, cozy up around a crackling bonfire under the starry night sky. White Eagle Resort offers several community and private bonfire spaces throughout the resort where you can gather with family and friends to share stories, laughter, and roast marshmallows. With the tranquil lake as your backdrop, these moments will become cherished memories. Another way to cozy up in the evening is to take a cedar sauna in one of our two onsite saunas then cold plunge into the lake! If that isn’t your thing, you can relax on the lakeside patio cozied up with a good book, taking in the picturesque views, and let the cool breeze whisk away your worries.
5. Scenic Fall side by side adventures: Embark on a scenic drive through the beautiful forest surrounding Lake Vermilion.
