Cuyuna Lakes Visitor Guide 2024 | 3
Welcome to the Cuyuna Lakes
Welcome to the beautiful Cuyuna lakes area, where small-town charm meets the heart of lake country! Our area, encompassing Bay Lake, Crosby, Cuyuna, Deerwood, Emily, Ironton, Riverton and Trommald, is a hidden gem with a unique history and plenty of offer.
Once a bustling mining hub, the Cuyuna Iron Range played a vital role during WWI and WWII, producing massive amounts of high-manganese ore. Later, it also became known for the iconic Scorpio Snowmobiles from the Crosby area. However, as those industries quieted in the 1980s, uncertainty loomed over the future of the small communities that make up the Cuyuna Lakes region. But then came the Cuyuna Country State Recreational Area and everything changed. The abandoned mining pits were embraced by nature, forming breathtaking crystal clear lakes. They’ve become the perfect backdrop for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming and fishing, attracting both locals and visitors alike.

The best kept secret in Minnesota is Cuyuna Country. Our pristine lakes provide excellent fishing for a large variety of species, as well as unique angling opportunities for trout and trophy pike.
ABOUT OUR WATERS MINE LAKES
Discover the allure of the Cuyuna Mine Lakes, a true gem in the heart of Cuyuna Country. With their crystal clear, spring-fed waters, with depths reaching 500 feet deep, they are truly a natural wonder. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a nature lover, or someone seeking a memorable escape, Cuyuna’s mine lakes offer an experience that lingers in your memory. It’s a place where adventure and serenity coexist, creating moments you won’t soon forget.
NATURAL LAKES
Tired of fishing amidst jet skiers and power boats? Experience the solitude on our natural lakes where walleye, northern and largemouth bass are the main targets. Don’t be surprised if you stumble upon slab crappies or big bluegills. Venture to larger waters for that trophy muskie. Launch your boat at the many public access points of the 22 natural lakes that are in the Cuyuna lakes area. If you are looking for peace and quiet, bring a canoe or kayak and relax on one of the many small lakes with limited access. Grab a map, locate a back road, and find your own “honey hole” on one of our tranquil lakes.
UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
The nearby Mississippi River, with excellent populations of walleye and smallmouth bass, is navigable under normal conditions with a motorized boat, but some prefer to float it in a canoe or kayak. The stretch from Aitkin to Merrifield is both beautiful and rewarding. Catfish populations are booming, and muskies are present here with trophy-caliber fish available. Whether boating, floating or fly fishing, check with Oars-N-Mine bait and tackle shop in Crosby for lake and river conditions and the local fishing secrets.

In 1959, the communities of Crosby and Ironton were in decline, still reeling after losing hundreds of iron ore mining jobs. Three men had come together, not to build a snowmobile powerhouse, but to simply survive. Incorporated in 1959, Trail-A-Sled, Inc. quickly grew to elite status among snowmobile manufacturers during the 1960s when rising public demand for these machines was creating an entirely new industry. Along the way, Trail-ASled, Inc. and its subsequent firm Scorpion, Inc. built an industry-leading reputation for quality, dependability, and design, becoming the second largest domestic manufacturer of snowmobiles and a leading employer in central Minnesota’s beautiful Cuyuna Lakes region. By March of 1978 the firm was sold to long-time rival Arctic Enterprises.
