Gold Mine Camp

A Wilderness Retreat With Something for Everyone

Gold Mine Camp is located on the 49-mile-long Vermilion River, nestled between two portage “waterfalls,” in the wilderness between Lake Vermilion and Crane Lake. The Vermilion River flows north of the Trout Lake Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and eventually empties into Hudson Bay in Canada.

Gold Mine has access to approximately 17 miles of navigable river system. Gold Mine Camp is a privacy-plus location. People, other than Gold Mine guests, are rarely seen. Private property in this area is limited and public access is difficult.

Gold Mine is the only resort on the last 17 miles of the Vermilion river. This allows anglers the opportunity to relax and fish without interruption. We have about the best Hunting and Fishing experience one could have.

As you can readily judge, wilderness fishing can be a highlight experience, fishing where few fishermen reach, sharing untroubled waters with the otter, mink and eagles, and catching fish that fight you all the way to the boat.

Our thanks to the many fishermen who released trophy fish. When you consider the fragility of wilderness waters, such sportsmanship is to be commended. The staff at Gold Mine will continue to recommend to our clients that trophy fish only be removed if a mounted specimen is the fisherman’s objective.
