Big, beautiful Lake Miltona is located in West Central Minnesota only fifteen miles north of Alexandria on State Highway 29. We are only a couple hours from the Twin Cities and Fargo. This 5700 acre lake provides a multitude of year round activities for visitors to enjoy. The crystal clear waters and sandy beaches are very inviting.

Lake Miltona is a short drive to Carlos Creek Winery. There are unique shops, museums, live theatre, big box stores and a wide variety of restaurants in the lakes area.

Fishing is still the most popular Lake Miltona activity.

The lake has been a tourist destination since the late 1800s when visitors were drawn to its excellent fishing… and this still holds true today. Lake Miltona is a diverse and healthy fish habitat. The water quality and clarity are considered excellent.

The months of December, January and February grant superb Minnesota ice fishing on Lake Miltona for those who like Walleye, Northern Pike, Crappie and Panfish. April and early May usually offer astounding opportunities for a trophy Crappie. By the first Saturday in May, true Minnesotans are on the lake in search of our great state fish, the Walleye. As summer warms the waters of Miltona, the Walleye, Bass and Panfish become a common sight on resort’s docks.

Fall fishing on Lake Miltona can be a magical experience. The Walleye and Muskie become even more aggressive during this time. The colder temperatures are a signal to these big predators that it is time to "strap on the feed bag". At this time of year, many of the visitors experience a once in a lifetime fish.
