Our Story

Lake Vermilion is a place we hold special in our hearts. The word, Vermilion, is known as the Lake of the Red Sunset. It’s one of the most pristine and cherished areas of northern Minnesota with over 40,000 acres of water, 1,200 feet of shoreline, and 365 islands, and is a gateway to the beloved Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness. In the 1960’s, National Geographic named Lake Vermilion as one of the most picturesque natural environments and that still holds true today. It’s from the shores of this majestic lake and many other North Country Lake Waters  that the founder began to dream of delivering products to fellow outdoor enthusiasts to continue to build passion around the water and woods. Having started on the shores of Minnesota Lakes and Forests  to now spreading our passions for the outdoors across the USA to our fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
