The water that flows into the bay in the lower SE corner of Mille Lacs is some of the deepest on the lake. Hence, the swell that rolls into that bay is large, glassy, and excellent. The section is only about 300 yards wide but can easily become the best play ground for an entire day. Of course, there is the other usual great Mille Lacs sailing from this site as well though once you sail in `the zone` you may never leave. There is a small pile of rocks just under the surface to the right of the launch about 300 yards and out about 100 feet. The rocks break the evenness of the swells so they are hard to miss.
