Lake Edward Resort, Merrifield, Minnesota

Lake Edward Resort is a family resort located in the heart of the Minnesota Lakes Region, 12 miles north of Brainerd on Crow Wing County Highway #3, just north of Merrifield, Minnesota. We are close to the communities of Nisswa and Crosslake. Lake Edward is one of the finest all around fishing lakes in the state. Although it is classified as a walleye lake, it also contains many northern, bass, large panfish and other species of fish. This small mouth bass weighed almost 5 pounds! It was caught by resort guest, Jacob Meyer. Way to go Jacob! After a day of fishing, visitors enjoy spending time around the campfire.

The grounds at the resort are spacious and level with the lake. We have a shallow sandy beach that is excellent for small children. We provide a play area for children, horseshoes, volleyball and shuffleboard. There is a central campfire area where guests can gather and sing camp songs and swap fishing tales. Our game room now has pool table and video games!

Our resort is a quiet getaway from the hustle and bussle of every day life. We have eagles flying overhead and loons that call across the lake. Come up to fish, relax, and bike on the nearby Paul Bunyan Trail. In the winter come up to ride on numerous snowmobile trails that are all around the area.
