Area Description
View in Google Maps
Cass Lake is where pristine lakes, abundant forests and a natural habitat are waiting to provide
visitors with a multitude of activities encompassing all four of Minnesota's seasons.
Located in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest and the Leech Lake
Reservation, visitors can enjoy bird watching, hiking, snowmobiling, biking, hunting
and of course, fishing on one of the eight lakes on the Cass Lake Chain of lakes.
Golfing enthusiasts can play on one of several golf courses in the area. Visitors looking
for more to do can stop in at Lyle's Logging Camp and Museum, partake in cultural
events, shop nearby, dine at a variety of bars/restaurants, enjoy the three Casino's in
the area or just relax and savor the serenity of the area.
Every season brings excitement to the area. Winter provides fishing enthusiasts
with time on the ice for either angling or spearing. Visitors interested in recreational
activities during the winter can explore the hundreds of miles of maintained
snowmobile trails. Spring is a great time to enjoy the blooming plants and the season
opener for fishing. Summer presents a variety of activities on the lake – fishing,
canoeing and water sports to name a few. One of the best times to be in the area is
the fall when the leaves are changing colors. Take a boat ride; fish the lake; hunt for
grouse, deer or duck; hike in the forest or simply enjoy the scenery. No matter what
season, the Cass Lake area brings events and festivals for visitors to enjoy. Fish the
Winter Fishing Challenge in February, enjoy music, food and more at Summer Fest in
July, or take in a number of events throughout the year. Visit the Cass Lake area and
you are sure to take home lasting memories that will bring you back season after
season, year after year.

The Fishing Experience of a Lifetime In the Cass Lake area, there is one thing we do all year around, and that is fishing! In centuries past, it may have been even a matter of life or death, whether or not a meal was speared, netted, or caught on a bone carved hook. As the first settlers arrived, it was a necessity of their diet, along with the animals and birds they harvested.
