In this episode, we explore everything that makes Mille Lacs special: its deep Indigenous roots, the communities that grew up along its shores, world-class fishing for walleye and smallmouth bass, two beautiful state parks, the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post, the scenic byway that circles the entire lake, and the unique winter world of ice fishing at "Frostbite Flats."
