About Gull Lake

Gull Lake sits at the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area, one of Minnesota's most popular vacation and fishing regions. This nearly 10,000-acre lake in Cass and Crow Wing counties offers excellent fishing for walleye, bass, and panfish, with depths reaching 82 feet. Crystal-clear water, sandy beaches, and beautiful shoreline homes make Gull Lake a premier destination for both serious anglers and families.

Walleye and northern pike provide the most consistent action, with fish holding on the lake's many reefs, points, and drop-offs. Both largemouth and smallmouth bass thrive in Gull Lake's clear waters, making it a favorite for bass tournament anglers. Crappie and bluegill offer excellent panfishing, especially in spring and early summer.

Brainerd and Baxter provide all the amenities anglers need, including bait shops, boat rentals, lodging, and dining. The charming town of Nisswa, known for its shops and turtle races, is located just north of the lake. The Brainerd Lakes Area draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, and Gull Lake is one of its crown jewels.
