ICE FISHING / WINTER

Bring your lucky fishing poles and bait, or check out our selection of fishing tackle and gear. Forgot to get a fishing license? No worries. Head of the Lakes Resort also provides fishing licenses – we are your one-stop fishing shop.
We drill the holes and turn on the heat, then leave the fishing and catching up to you. At Head of the Lakes Resort, we place the fish houses in locations that we believe the fish bite best. Bring your deck of cards, your favorite beverages, a couple of friends, and get ready to enjoy some time away on Lake Osakis.

Winter
At Head of the Lake Resort, not only do we offer some of the best ice fishing in Minnesota, but there are numerous snowmobile trails in the area to enjoy. The Douglas Area Trail Association (DATA) runs right through the resort itself, and across Lake Osakis, as well as many other trails. Enjoy the trails, and stop into our Restaurant and Bar for a few beers with your trail mates, or grab a hot meal as you get ready to get back out and enjoy the snow, and the breathtaking beauty Lake Osakis and the Osakis area has to offer.
Stay in one of our Cabins for an extended snowmobiling trip – now the fun doesn’t have to stop after only a day of blazing through the fresh snow. See our Cabin Rates for more information, or call us for pricing and availability on a short stay.
