Fishing

Camp Ripley
Some of the best fishing in the area is right here on post. Including the river all the way up to Sylvan Dam, there are four bodies of water available to personnel using our facilities:  Lake Alott, grid UB 880174, Ferrell Lake, grid UB 905075, Round Lake, located at grid UB 880095, and of course, the Mississippi River running directly along our East Boundary Road.  Although use of each is determined by the daily range activities, boats are available for personal use on the shores of each lake.  Fishing gear and other necessary equipment is available in Building 2-207 directly to the west of the first intersection as you enter post.

Little Falls
Little Falls is known for being the place the Mississippi pauses on its journey south.   It has also become known as a "good spot to wet a line."  There are a number of inlets, back-washes and other subsidiaries to include the Mississippi River which bind the waterways together and provide a vast number of fishing opportunities.

Brainerd
The "Brainerd Lakes Area" in itself is one of the states best fishing areas as the name would lead one to believe.  The home of Al Linder and the In-Fisherman Corporation, the Brainerd Lakes provide visitors with a wide variety of fishing lakes.  The choice is all yours.  For those looking for the larger lakes, we have Gull Lake in the heart of Brainerd, Mille Lacs to the west, Bay Lake to the North, and of course, any number of lakes on the White Fish Chains near Pequot.   For those who might be looking for something a little less traveled, you have a seemingly endless number of choices.
