Located approximately 10 miles west of Brainerd/Baxter and just a couple miles from famed Gull Lake, Sylvan Lake is close to shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment, and is a convenient trip from Minneapolis/St. Paul (130 miles), Fargo/Moorhead (130 miles), and St. Cloud (70 miles). At just over 800 acres, Sylvan Lake is one of Minnesota's clearest lakes with a water clarity of 20 plus feet, and features a rolling, wooded shoreline. Sylvan Lake also sits on the doorstep of Pillsbury State Forest, Minnesota's first designated state forest.
During the summer months, this quiet recreational lake is perfect for fishing (known especially for its outstanding bass and pan fish), skiing, boating, kayaking, swimming, and all other water based activities. In fact, "keeper" pan fish and bass are regularly caught from the end of our dock. If you enjoy golf, Sylvan Lake sits just a few miles from Cragun's Legacy golf courses and Madden's The Classic/Pine Beach golf courses, which together offer over 100 holes of golf. If you'd rather spend your days biking, the nearby Pillsbury State Forest has mountain bike trails, and the Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trails are located just 20-30 miles from this property and offer 25 miles of mountain bike trails. Access the more leisurely Paul Bunyan Bike Trail--which offers over 120 continuously paved miles--just a few miles from our front door. All of these trails are known for providing amazing views of Minnesota fall colors. The Pillsbury State Forest also offers trails for horseback riding.
During the winter season, Sylvan Lake is great for ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and serves as a good base camp for accessing miles of cross country ski trails and groomed snowmobile trails in the area, including in Pillsbury State Forest. The cabin is also located just 15 miles from Mount Ski Gull, which offers winter downhill skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing.
This property is perfect for a single family looking for extra space or a few couples or families. Upon reservation confirmation you will receive information and a list of items to bring so you are prepared for your time on the lake. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
