Oh What a Time at Twin Pines!

[Tyler Holm]

I had a chance to stay with Twin Pines Resort on Mille Lacs (Garrison) and oh what a time we had. There were 19 of us (give or take 3) that stayed there all weekend. It was a joint bachelor party for myself and another one of my friends. We had the largest cabin on the north side of the resort and that was the clear ticket. We had a huge yard for playing bean bags, lawn darts, bocce ball, frisbee, etc as well as a huge firepit for the evening affairs. The cabin was equipped with a full kitchen and lots of room for poker and a place to rest your head. We even had a huge grill which got used regularly.

Right across the road was a beach and beautiful Lake Mille Lacs. Water temps were perfect for swimming and the gradual shorelines allowed us to head out a ways and have a heck of a good time tossing the frisbee around.

Now let’s talk fishin… I had a chance to go out on both of Twin Pines launch boats, and they are certainly fisher-friendly. We were in good hands with Captains Todd & Dave and had the assistance of Stan and Johnny and others. Our largest walleye was 27 7/8” which was Craig’s new personal best. Dave got a 26”er and Howell landed his personal best of 24”. We had a few more fish over the 20” mark as well. Several eater sized fish were also caught. A fabulous time was had by all.

I can’t end this thread without mentioning the food at Twin Pines Resort. I believe the omelets were among the best I’ve ever had, and certainly the largest. A special thanks to Linda, Erin, Emily, & Lauren for putting up with us all weekend.

I've used Twin Pines for launch services before and the staff and their facilities are fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
