Carol Ann Seversen - Forest Lake, MN My dad was born in Tower. We once owned Tout Lake Portage/Morcom Inn with my uncle and aunt. We had a home on Birch Point so my brothers and I went to school in Tower/Soudan. Moved to Twin Cities. Our cabin is the last standing cabin from the resort. Bob Allbaugh - Bettendorf, Ia Liz Corey - Minneapolis, MN Tim Coenen - Stacy, MN Rick Roesch - Oxford Ohio Been coming to lake vermilion since I was a young man. in my opinion no other lake compares to this multi species lake when it comes to fishing and the beauty of this lake. Kim Newman - Barnum, MN Tim Coenen - Stacy, MN HooDoo Point Campground Seasonal Mark A Boggs - Frederick, MD James Smith - resident With its 40,000 acres of water, 365 islands and 1200 miles of shoreline, it stretches 40 miles across the heart of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region." You must be using a broken yard stick. It is only 24 miles long. The distance from Cook to Ely is not even 40 miles. And the shoreline is closer to 315 miles. Not 1200. Mark A Boggs - Frederick, MD James Smith - resident HooDoo Point Campground Seasonal Dave Boudreau - Brooklyn Park, MN Jeffrey Wagner - McCordsville, IN Jon VanBuren - St. Paul, MN Walleye fishing on west side of lake continues to be a disaster. It's been poor for years. Terribly mismanaged by DNR. I feel bad for resorts/owners on Cook side. Something needs to be done. Too many muskies? Another issue? Darrell Schneider - Crosslake, MN Gene Hren - Chisholm MN Dorothy Paulick Moore - Waterford, WI This morning I saw your web address on a TV fishing show. My Dad was born in Tower in 1904 and enjoyed Lake Vermilion as a child. In 2014 I visited Tower, the railroad museum, the mine and the lake for the first time helping me to better understand my father's history. I am sharing your map on a family page to make other relatives more aware of this history. Thank you. Frank Gochnour - North Platte, Nebraska Watched a fishing show and they were on your lake so thought I would look it up on the internet to learn more about the lake and area around it. Rachel Hansen - Calgary, AB I can't wait to go Bob Cooke - Highland Heights, KY Jonah Switzer - Lafayette, IN I am a stranger to Lake Vermilion but will be up there in a week to catch all the fish! Carla Snook - Clearwater, FL I think I was here when I was a small child. My Father took me to a lakeshore and we watched bubbles coming up, and he showed me how it would burn !!!!!! I never asked him about it; and saw an article about the frozen gas bubbles at a lake in CN, so I researched a bit more and found this lake - we lived in MT at the time and this is within travel distance for our Family.

Can't wait to see the lake again. Donn Satrom - Roseville, MN Can you direct me to the source of your National Geographic declaration? When I bought a cabin on Woman Lake in 1977, they made a similar claim about NG naming it one of the world's most beautiful lakes. Thinking that would be interesting to read, I contacted NG for more info. They replied that beauty is so subjective that they have NEVER rated the most scenic lakes in the world. It's a great story but is it really true? Jack Lawton - Vienna, Virginia Beginning in 1949 my family (the Thiems of Keokuk, Iowa) spent two weeks at Ludlow's Island, for the most enjoyable vacations I have ever had. I loved the lake and its people. I especially remember Martha Ludlow, Mark and Hod, and all of the Geyerman family (Sue, Ginger, and Fred). ken keinanen - moose lake mn Don Sieger - St. Cloud, MN Jerry Mager - Arbor Vitae, WI Great musky lake & Great website. Thank you. Josh Bailey - Grayslake, IL Lee Peterson - Tower, MN Melinda Butler Schlechter, I remember your grandparents Renee and Gordy well. They bought the Isle of Pines resort cabin that had the well that we all used for drinking water. The well is gone now, but I can remember helping George Gruben fill up water jugs for the the big old Lodge that faced Big Bay. I worked for his son Dick during the summers at his boat and motor shop on Arrowhead Point until 1968. Our family built a cabin on the West side of the island, where I now live. Those were good times! The bridge painting looks really nice, have you ever thought of making prints and offering them? Lee Emily Webster - Honey Brook, PA My family has owned a cabin in Wakemup Bay for over 40 years now and despite some major upgrades and editions that we have added on, our love for the lake will never change. It is literally the perfect spot for the ideal summer vacation. I only wish that we could come up here for longer than our usual 2 weeks! Bob Graves - Columbus, Ohio Mary Nipp - Cook, MN Ron and Sue that own Moosebirds are the nicest people and have everything you might have forgot a t home. awesome country store and ice cream. Melinda (Lindy- now Mindy) Butler Schlechter I thought I would share a photo of this painting done by my grandmother, Irene L Walstrom (Renee) done in the late 1960's or 70's before it was replace with a concrete bridge. My grandparents Gordon and Irene had a summer place there on the north side of the Isle 2nd cove in. Spent many happy summers days there.

Bill Melnyk - Northwood, Ohio Rebecca Berard - Vinton IA John Seeck - Sharonville, Ohio Sylvia Jordan - Milwaukee, WI I visited Lake Vermilion MANY times from 1990 throughout 2005 while working for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Lake, people, scenery, eagles and loons hold a very special place in my heart! I am retired now, but hope to get up that way again! SJ Steve Farmer - Louisville, Kentucky Arlene Booth- , San Diego, CA Joe & Sandy Roberts - Duluth, MN Brian DeCurtins - Tower, MN Clifford Boateng - Shakopee, MN Michelle, , , As a native Minnesotan, it is always shocking to be "lake-stumped" (learn of a lake in your home state for the very first time), and even more shocking when you are lake-stumped by an out-of-stater. The questions raced through my mind... "How have I not been to this place before? Perhaps I went in my childhood and forgot? How does this person know of it but I do not?"... I searched for any memory of this place. Well, today I was lake-stumped about Lake Vermilion. Needless to say, I was shocked, and, after visiting your website, I find myself disgusted with myself for never having visited before. Because frankly, this place looks great. It has everything I'm looking for in a lake. Same goes for this website. It is excellent. As I type this, the shock has subsided, and instead has been replaced with a massive eagerness to visit your great lake. I cannot wait to make the journey and soak there someday. Really nice work, everyone. Consider your page bookmarked. Humbly, Michelle Kathy Fleetham - Bloomington, MN I was looking for a good map of the lake and thought I could find one here. They are tough to find - I'd like one that indicates some of the roadways around the lake. Also - is there still a section of real estate around Norwegion Bay called Hollywood Beach? Thanks! The Biester Family - GA We love it on the lake! Randall Webb - Dixon, IL, My family started vacationing in 1955 at the lake we would make it every summer as I was groing up , The fishing and the old resorts have changed but the sunsets,fresh air and clear water has remained . I guess we need progress. I have very many wonderful memories of summers filled shuffle board at Isle of Pine resort catching lots of fish and days filled with joy from many friends I made in the north. Lake Vermillion will always be a part of me. Will ihlenfeldt - Forest Lake, MN Awesome Kay Johnson - Virginia Beach, VA Great web site.

Nick Peterson - Ely, MN Love Lake Vermilion, there are big fish in there. None Given My Grandfather, Father and Uncle built a cabin on the lake back in 1956. We used to go there to vacation with our Grandparents for a week at a time during summer months. The cabin was located between Seppi and Nylons. I had a great time up there. My Grandparents sold the place in the fall of 1973. I recently was up there with my husband and son. We looked for hours to try to find the place after not being there for 30 years. We finally found the right spot. We had been close two and a half hours earlier however, I did not know it at the time. We drove down the driveway. A flood of memories came over me! Thank God someone was there and they showed us around. The place did change as they always do. Some things were the same as they were so long ago. The lake is beautiful I will always enjoy the lake!

As I kid I would visit every June with my Grandparents for the whole month, and stay at Vermilion Dam Lodge. After my last visit as a teen my Grandfather became to ill to continue with our beloved vacations that the 3 of us would look forward to for the next 11 months until we returned again. Those were the best memories of my childhood without doubt. I had talked of Lake Vermilion to my Wife of 25 years, and we were able to make the trip this year. It was in July, and the weather changed on the 2nd day to cold and rain. The fishing wasn't good, so I took the Wife to places I had been as a kid and was very pleased to see that there was much that remained the same. Even though the fishing wasn't good, we had a great time and would love to return as much as possible. In short I loved it as much on this visit as I had as a child. Thank God for beautiful memories and beautiful nature that has endured throughout the years. In short I will say that it is still one of my favorite places on earth.

He had a small log cabin with an out house & a house with a dock & a boat house that you could still see the cabin from across the bay or lake. He later built & I think designed a larger beautiful dream home a little way back in the woods. Many of our fondest memories were of those vacations & I would love to go back & revisit those areas & so would my brothers. The problem is we were too young to actually remember where exactly it was. I would love to find out if anyone knew Jerry Hill & where he lived & even if he is still alive & living there. If anyone knows please email me back (landofangell@verizon.net) on this. Mr. Jerry Hill if you are still with us - Thanks for the wonderful vactaions & hospitality from the Anderson's - Judd, Beverly & the kids, Gregg, Lynn & Scott.

I can say that they were the "most wonderful" times in my life. But now I have grown children of my own, and I am looking into rentals, and possible buying in the future. This summer, like last, I hope to take my family up there again. Vance Peltonen - Pottsboro,Texas Claire "Nails" Christison - Saint Paul, MN le chapelain jean francois - france Jeanine (Tode) Martin - Corinth, MS I couldn't think of a better place to have spent my summers as a child. Now that I have children of my own, I hope they love the lake as much as I do. I hope that they will make lasting frienships as I have. I have been fortunate to have had such a beautiful place to "play"! Terry Theisen - Shakopee, MN Maurice Merabella - Little Canada, MN I would appreciate it if I could get some information mailed to be by some of the resorts on the lake. I am looking for a cabin for about a week of fishing and have never been to your area. Thanks Don Wright - Lafayette, IN great website Thanks Dave Modetz - Orlando, FL Jo Kozubik - Knox, In Danielle Ross - Centerville, MN My inlaws and the extended family have rented some cabins during the week of 6-8 through 6-15. I am looking forward to the nice relaxing vacation! Linda Hogan - Apple Valley, MN Michael and Melissa Barron - Baxter, MN VERY NICE SITE,THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Dale L Cox - Lafayette, IN Rob - Madison, WI It's always a pleasure to come to Lake Vermilion on our annual fishing trip the first week of June, and put on my annual fishing seminar for Norm,Roger,Pat,Dan, Jim,Tom,Ed,Duff,Ron,and any other poor sap that doesn't know what the difference is between a rod, or a reel!! Tim Taylor - Oak Grove, Mo Randy P Hansen - LeRoy, MN Don't see much about ice fishing? I will take my first trip to your lake in Aug. and I(we) can't wait. :) Donna & Gary Lampinen - Peoria, AZ Great lake to be on. Large, but no huge open water, 1200 miles of convoluted shore lines and 365 islands to explore. I like that in a lake. Chad Bosch - New Hope, MN I've loved lake vermilion since I was six years old. I always like returning when I do have the chance. Bethany Griffith Lake Vermilionn sounds like an awesome place to visit. Donna Joppa - Omaha, NE Paul Rogalla - Indianola, IA We are coming up July 13 to stay for a week -- send us some good stuff to get ready to have fun! What's happening that week?

I think a winter picture would be in order. Thank you. John C Cowin - Kerrville, TX Pat Lesner - Lake Villa,IL Rich Love the Eagle eye - what part of the lake is it located on?? I would like to get an idea so I can enjoy even more. Bethany Griffith - St. Paul Park, Mn Donna & Gary Lampinen - Peoria, AZ Mark Fehringer - Palos Hills, IL Tommy Ray - Clinton, MS I spent many wonderful days on Vermillion in the early years of the lake. My uncle built a cabin (which I contributed to some) on the lake. I was young and enjoying the summers there. My uncle and aunts'name was George and Mildred Bertula (son was Jack) and his cabin was out from Tower. This was in the 50's and the lake was not as crowded in those days. One of my best memories was going across the bay in front of the cabin, climbing a small hill and picking great blueberries. Maybe one day I will see the lake again. One thing you may consider is adding to your net site a list of all residents of the lake. Especially some of the early ones who partook of the mud roads to get to the lake. Thanks for the great memories. Roger Schueler - Markesan, WI Louie Tolvanen - Wilson Wi Hi, Looking at my favorite web sites and just discovered this sign on. I used to have a cabin on the Res. and I miss it a lot.

I want them to have fun and learn the joys of fishing on Lake Vermillion. If anybody has a suggestion please feel free to e-mail me at james.shaman@cumulus.com. Thanks Adam Like - Frankfort,IN Aimee Menne - Anchorage, Alaska Joel Meyers - Reinbeck, IA My wife used to visit yearly at her grandparents cabin. The cabin has been sold, but we're eagerly awaiting our July vacation to show our kids where mom spent her summers! Bryan Tankersley - South St. Paul, MN Joel Olander - Owatonna, MN I (and many others I know) think it's time walleye slot limits were introduced; while the fish numbers appear to be stable, size is getting smaller; too many people keep every fish; I'd like to see a 14-17" keep only regulation. Ann Quam - Wanamingo, MN My hubby and 9 year old our on a rentel house boat this week. It's a family thing. They do every year at Lake Vermillion. Hope the guys are having fun. Tom Budolfson - Mpls, MN Very nice site! C.T. Logan - Becker, MN Are there any launch services or is there only guide services?

Bob Niemi - Ishpeming, MI Scott Miller - Cambridge, MN Joel Langholz - St. Paul, MN Eva Lopez - Chicago, IL Cassie White - Des Moines, IA I think that lake vermilion is a piece of heaven. The wilderness and quiet is to die for. I think everyone should at least be privileged to sepnd a week or two up here. Enjoy Lake Vermillion for now and don't concentrate on the bad things. Jody Bystrom - Plymouth/ Mckinly Park Good job on the site, I look at least once a week. This is a reality check for a former Towerite and presnt cabin owner and future Lake Vermilion retirie. This lake gets in the blood and its there to stay. We are forth generation Tower/ Lake Vermilion family. Bystrom bay is named after our great grandfather Jonas, my granparents were some of the first summer residents of Birch Point starting back about 1925? As kids we spent many hours on the lake in both summer and winter. We still do as often as possible. One of lifes simplest yet greatist pleasures. How fortunate we are! See you all on the forth of July. Matt Hill - Mt. Iron, MN Ahti Hujanen - Oakdale, MN Thanks for the info. It's great to be able to catch a view through the webcam and watch the ice-out dates.

Robert Boelter - Bloomington MN Funny as it may sound I loved checking the Eagle Eye web cam every morning. Being 250 miles away I could watch the ice out!

I love the lake and the summers! Dave Thalberg - Spicer, MN Jack Tobias - Houston, TX Steve,Donna,Heidi McNulty - Janesville, IA Dave Fritz - Cook, MN Carleen Gulstad - Minnetonka, MN This is the most peaceful place I know...my family owns a cabin on the east shore of Frazer Bay, and there is nothing like a Lake Vermilion summer sunset... Bill and Dani McDougall - Van Nuyts, CA Bill is a former resident of MN and a former cabin owner. We plan to purchase a property on Lake Vermilion this year. Jason Jindrich - Columbia, Missouri My family used to own a resort out west of Tower in the early 1970's. My memories of the place are deep snow and the scent of pines. I miss the place and so I have come to this site several times, and finally decided it was time to sign in. Mark Zuelke - Fox River Grove, IL The lake is diminishing in any sense of solitude and wilderness. If we want to be buzzed by jetskis we can go to a lake 10 minutes away. Whose lame, short-sighted, selfish decision was it to allow this travesty to occur on the lake? Send that person on vacation to the Fox Chain-of-Lakes in northeren Illinois and you won't have to do anything else to demonstrate to that person where Vermilion is headed. Want jetskis? Come on down! we've got them! Since compromise may be necessary, restrict the noise, fumes and irritation to the Big Bay area. This large bay at least has the capacity to absorb those things. But I say get rid of them. There is no need for them. The only purpose they serve is to carry one or two people joyriding. Don't let them argue "just look at all the power boats allowed". Power boats serve many purposes. And besides, even power boaters complain about these annoying things. Resort owners who lease these are doing nothing for the desireability of the lake as a destination, They make some blood money. But people will soon realize that Vermilion has lost it's solitude and will seek out other lakes. Then resorts who lease these things can survive a bit longer on the money they made spoiling their own nest. Mike Lorenz - Hibbing, MN I think the website is great and very informative. keep the info coming and great job. Lane Kastonek - Sauk Centre, MN I own some property on the north shore of Pine Island. Just down from Glenwood Lodge. Bought it about 5 years ago for 11 grand. Best investment I ever made. First summer there I averaged 50 walleyes a night off my dock during Memorial Weekend. I think Vermilion is one of the last great untouched fisheries in the state. Jerold Schneider Ruth H. Young - Palm Desert, CA So glad to see your web. page. It is beautifully done. Beautiful Lake Vermilion has been my "home away from home" since I was 3 months old, and I don't believe I could live without it! Hello to all my friends and family up there. "See you next summer!" Marvin Piepho - Coon Rapids, MN Kris and Jeff Harper - Mtka, MN We like the Eagle Camera views! With a cabin on an island, we like to know if there is ice or no ice! It's a beautiful place to be. A MAN TA HUG N KISS - Duluth, MN howdee everyone. its amanda. well, what can i say??? i loved fishkin with daniel martin and travis and amy. although i never did catch anything. just thought i would come here and give my shout outs to the WALLEYE COWBOYS!!! they rock...my dreams are to become one of the first women walleye cowboys ever...of course with amy by my side. i love lake vermilion and i love amys cabin and i hope i come up a lot next year. to all of u who come here...nick, tim, unka, steve, jay, alex, chris, daniel martin, amy, and friends...hi! amanda Carly E - Lincoln, NE Scott Brickles Hi People! This an awesome website. The fishing is great in June. Come and do whatever it is to relax or have some fun. Jeff Rice - Elmhurst, IL Richard Costello Joni Teschner - Eden Prairie, MN As a seasonal resident, we do spend much time during the holidays and winter months besides our summer trips. During the winter trips it would be nice to be able to check ice conditions i.e. beginning to ice over, 1", etc. Should anyone know... We are coming up for Thanksgiving (Everett Bay). Is there any ice yet where it would be possible to ice fish off shore, or is lake open so we could put boat/canoe in for couple days for a little fishing???? (jteschner@researchinc.com) Dixie Parris - Mesquite, TX We loved our property on Lake Vermillion, Ely Island, and miss the North Woods so much now. We wonder why we sold!! There is no place on earth like that area. Amy Bradt - Duluth, MN The summers go by so quickly and the winters seem endless. My teen summers have been spent relaxing and spending most of my time at my cabin on Lake Vermilion. My cabin is my most favorite place in the whole world. I look forward to many more years of fun and enjoyment on Lake Vermilion. I'd like to shout a hello out to the all my buds and The Walleye Cowboys. Craig D Bellows - Forest Lake, MN Just bought property on Vermilion by Ludlows? Resort. Have been trying for some time. Want my children to have memories of weekends/summers at the lake. Kevin Toivola - Hibbing, MN Mike Osboe - Austin, MN I really miss Lake Vermillion when I am not there. So I always come on and check out what is new. I especially like the eagle eye camera. But whenever I see the lake on the camera it makes me want to be up there more. Good job on the website. It is great. Dan Babich - Mahtomedi, MN There is no other lake besides Lake Vermilion.

After reviewing an article that I saved from the Saint Paul Pioneer Press newspaper, dated 5/28/2000, on Lake Vermilion, I noticed the web site address. Decided to check it out and found it to be most informative. I learned more in an hour on your web site than the information that I have gathered over the last 5 years. Great web site!

I'm interested if any tales of his time there have survived. I have several friends here in Indiana who are also avid hunters and fisherman (Walleye is their favorite). Lake Vermilion sounds like the kind of place they would enjoy. Wendy VanKuyk - Woodbury, MN As a kid (1956-1969) my parents made me go to Lake Vermilion to fish every weekend. How I hated it, but I was a kid. After I married, and moved to the cities, we would come up to the lake 5 or 6 times every summer to stay at my brother's cabin. His cabin was on the reservation facing Big Bay. Fishing was phenomenal. I haven't been there for about 7 years, except to go to the casino. I will be back! Vergel V.

Hearthstone Circle, South Jordan, UT, 84095 I lived with my grandparents, Richard and Irene Lustig, for many years in the 1950s and 1960s in Vermilion Dam. They had a house about 3 miles from The Life of Riley Resort. Grandma worked in the lookout tower and use to take me to work with her sometimes, and grandpa was a guide for The Life of Riley.

Keep up the good work with the website. Dan. Anderson - Eden Prairie, MN Dave Thibault - Anchorage, Alaska Rocci Donofrio - Virginia, MN George J. Geis, M.D. - Elmhurst, IL Dear Friends of Lake Vermillion, We enjoyed another nice summer week recently on Lake Vermillion. I'm worried about the increased turbidity of the water which I assume is due to an increase in algal growth from increased nutrients in the water. I hope we can preserve the Lake's pristeen quality for years to come by recognizing the Lake's finite capacity to repair damage we do to it. Unfortunately, I've seen so many examples of the opposite. I think that many times the "green" thing is the economically advantageous thing. I know we always look for places to vacation which have clear water and unspoiled surroundings. Good luck. Dan McCanney - Eagan, MN Coming up the 24th of Sep and would appreciate up-to-date fishing information. Except for keeping a fish or two to eat, all my fish are released. Capistrant My family has had a cabin on the lake since 1960. No running water and no electricity. It' the best.

Gary Rathbun - Washington, IL I fish the lake usually 2 times a year for a week each time. I would love to see the walleye limit changed to a given amount of fillets in pounds to take home each trip. As it is the natural thing to do is eat the small ones while you are there and bring home the 6 largest that you catch for the week, which goes against the release of over 17" fish Robert Labarre- Lindstom, MN very,very GOOD Brett - Joliet, IL L.
