The Emily - Fifty Lakes area is located on Minnesota Scenic Hwy. 6 in the heart of north central Minnesota. Beautiful pine and hard wood forests and dozens of beautiful clean, clear, natural lakes surround the cities of Emily and Fifty Lakes. Some of the lakes are over 100 ft. deep and have excellent public landings and great fishing; sunfish, crappies, perch, bass, walleyes, northern pike, and lake trout. Every season walleyes over 10 pounds and northern pike in the 15-20 pound range are caught. With our residents and visitors practicing catch and release techniques, our fishing quality will remain great for years to come.

Our beautiful pine, birch, and hard wood forests are home to many kinds of wildlife. White tail deer can be seen on a daily basis, along with bald eagles, and many species of wild birds. Squirrels, chipmunks, beaver, and fox abound in the Emily-Fifty Lakes area. The majestic Loon, with it's beautiful and haunting call, can be seen on all of our many lakes. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of a timber wolf as they wander through our abundant forests.
