Shores of Leech Lake

Shores of Leech Lake is a privately owned 120 slip marina and seasonal RV or park trailer resort.  A small number of RV sites are available for short-term stays.

 "Shores" offers: a large inland harbor, spacious level RV or Park Trailer sites, a beautiful sand beach, clean facilities including two shower houses, a full kitchen for customer use, two laundry facilities and a "lodge" serving coffee, snacks, pizza, wine and beer.

Shores is located on Walker Bay and the paved Heartland Bike Trail, just 2 1/2 miles north of Walker Minnesota. You can enjoy both beautiful Leech Lake in the Chippewa National Forest and the shops and dining in nearby Walker, Minnesota, population 1,069.

Shore's mission is to offer best-available in-water or "camping" facilities for sailors, power boaters, and RV campers.

Shores welcomes all types of watercraft. Jet skis are welcome to base here, but must operate out on the lake - away from Shores. Leech is a big lake, enjoy it, be aware of your noise and wake. Sailboats always have the right-of-way.

Shores harbor can accommodate boats with up to a 4' 6" draft.

Leech Lake

Located in north central Minnesota, in the Chippewa National Forest, Leech Lake is 112,835 acres.  The lake's maximum depth is 202 feet.   Average depth is 14 feet.   Leech offers big water, but also many bays, narrows, and contour for fishing or anchorages.

The lake primarily draws fisherman; Muskie, Walleye, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike fishing here is world-class.  

For an inland lake, Leech Lake is one-of-few in that thousands of acres have a minimum depth of 10'.   Thousands of acres are also less than 10', but sudden shallow water hazards are rare and well marked.   The bottom is almost always soft or sand.

Fishermen and boaters find plenty to explore here.  Most of the shoreline is wilderness or summer homes. The lake offers many undeveloped sand beach areas to explore.  There are a few restaurants on the lake serving local cuisine and cocktails. 

Comfortable water temperatures from June through September, natural sandy beaches and excellent water quality make Leech Lake a perfect summer play ground.
