My wife and I spent an enjoyable week at Northern Lights Resort on Dead Lake in Ottertail County, MN. We stayed in cabin 9, which was very comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was adequately stocked (you never know so we've learned to bring essential cookware and measuring utensils just in case). The beds were comfortable with plenty of room to walk around. The view of the lake was spectacular as we arrived just as the fall colors were peaking. The resort is easy to reach by car and is located on a small, sheltered bay, making docking our boat easy-even when winds were a bit stiff. There is a nice boat launch right at the resort-very convenient. The fishing was very good for largemouth bass, northern pike, and sunfish. We also caught a few nice crappies and a few smaller walleyes. There were as many small sunfish around the docks to keep small kids entertained as long as their interest lasts and larger sunfish that bit tiny crankbaits a little deeper. The weather was cool, overcast, and windy the week we were there but we dressed appropriately and fished every day except Friday due to thunderstorms. Instead we took a drive in the area and visited Maplewood State Park, where we hiked a beautiful trail. When we left, the resort had a boat decontamination station free for use by guests. Highly recommended.
