One of Minnesota's most beautiful lakes, with over 1,200 miles of shoreline, has a reputation as a lake filled with fun. Once dotted with quaint cabins, old boathouses and family resorts from Cook to Tower, the Lake Vermilion lakescape is changing to extravagant summer homes and year-round waterfront retreats. The lake has also benefited from the popularity of Ely and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, just up the road.

Fortune Bay Casino has been a huge draw to the area, and caters to those who want to fish, swim, ski and golf by day, with ongoing entertainment through the evening. Lakeshore owners have plenty to do on the water, with resorts still dotting the shoreline that can serve up a quick burger and refreshing drink on the lakefront deck.

Waterfront real estate on Lake Vermilion has been hot, with good properties not lasting long on the market, so you need to be ready when the right place comes along.

The Iron range also has many other gorgeous lakes from Hibbing to Side Lake to Hoyt Lakes, and from Virginia to Ely and Babbitt. Birch Lake, Pelican Lake, Bear Island Lake and Sand Lake are some of the more well known, but there are hundreds of others that offer good pricing and great recreational getaways.
