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.
