Heaven On Earth. 

Vermilion gets its name from the French translation of the Ojibwe word Onamuni, which means lake of the sunset glow. Located in northeastern Minnesota, this shallow fresh water lake is home to shallow bays with aquatic vegetation supplement rocky shorelines, allowing the lake to support a diverse fish community of walleye, muskellunge, northern pike, smallmouth bass, bluegills, crappies and largemouth bass.

It spans 39,271 acres, making it seventh among Minnesota's 10 largest lakes. It stretches 37 miles end-to-end, has a maximum depth of 76 feet and boasts 365 islands and 341 miles of shoreline – numbers that translate to lots of structure and lots of lake to explore
