LOCATION
Chase on the Lake is in an ideal setting on Walker Bay of Leech Lake and just steps from downtown Walker. We have been recognized by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as the Best Lakeside Resort for 2015. The Walker area provides guests access to experiences unique to the area such as visiting the headwaters of the Mississippi River, a tour of a Winery, play a round of golf, or jump on the trail system right out our front door and enjoy the miles of wildlife that is unique to Northern Minnesota. If being on the lake is more your style, head out on the world class fishery that is Leech Lake, whether fishing or just enjoying northern Minnesota wildlife you are sure to enjoy your time on the lake. For those who want an up north retreat without the rustic cabin, we are your destination.
