The Landing on Lake Vermilion is a boat-up restaurant in northern Minnesota that offers a classic Up North experience: spending a day on the water – kayaking, relaxing, or chasing walleye (or muskies, northern, or smallies) – then heading in for a burger and a beer without leaving your boat. That’s lake life for you, and we here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes embrace it whole-heartedly – any time of year. And so does The Landing on Lake Vermilion.

Lake Vermilion is a premier recreation lake in northern Minnesota.
