Brainerd Resorts and Lodges with Wildlife and Nature

A Place that Offers Everything but the Crowds...

Lost Lake Lodge is an unforgettable escape, situated on two lakes in the Minnesota Northwoods. The lodge rests between its own private, non-motorized Lost Lake and the Upper Gull Lake Narrows, a paradise for fishing and boating. Here nature trails wind through ancient burial grounds; you can spot deer and over 44 bird species. Venture out in a canoe, water bike or playak among the loons. A spectacular restaurant serves food made from the freshest ingredients - including stone ground spring wheat and corn from the Lost Lake Grist Mill. The genuine combination of personal attention, nature, available golf and spa services and warm accommodations make this place a truly magical getaway. Learn More...
