About our Beach & Lake

Our resort fronts on Gull Lake, famous as one of the two finest lakes in Minnesota, with an average depth of 60 feet, forty one miles of shoreline and part of a chain of seven connected lakes.   Its scenery varies from cliffs and forests to palatial homes, sandy beaches and boat-in restaurants.  With coves and bays, sandbars and rock piles, it offers the varied bottom structure that accomplished fishermen find irresistible, as well as wide open, protected waters that recreational boaters love for skiing and tubing.   Bay Colony Resort is on that portion of Gull Lake known as the "Gold Coast", which is a small portion of Gull Lake's eastern shore on which the Ice Age deposited a deep layer of sugar sand, blessing us with a clean beach free of weeds and mud, and clear swimming water on a clean sandy bottom with no sudden drop-offs.  We are centered in a bay known as Hole-In-The-Day Bay which was named after an Indian chief of the 1840's whose tribe asked him why the sky had suddenly gone dark (it was a solar eclipse) and he said it was probably "a hole in the day".  He lives on in the history books as Chief Hole-In-The-Day.
