BEST LAKE RESORT IN MINNESOTA
Welcome to Lake Darling Resort! We’re a family (and pet!) friendly lake resort in Alexandria, Minnesota. Here at Minnesota’s Best Lake Resort, we have everything you need to relax and make the best memories.
In the Winter, Lake Darling Resort is the perfect place to gather and cozy up by the fireplace, enjoy outdoor campfires, swim in the heated pool and hot tub, and enjoy games in the Clubhouse. We have an ice rink on the lake, complete with goal nets and hockey sticks so that you can enjoy a true Minnesota winter. Go ice fishing or snowmobiling (we rent brand-new Polaris snowmobiles!), or check out the endless events and activities that the Alexandria area has to offer. Please note some winter activities may depend on the weather.
During the Summer, we have paddle boards, paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, and water toys for some fun in the sun - free to our guests! Lake Darling Resort is located in the heart of the Alexandria Chain of Lakes. Steps away from the sandy shoreline of Lake Darling, guests will enjoy two expansive beaches, swim in the sandy-bottom lake, play lawn games, and grill plus enjoy campfires, or head out to explore all 11 connected lakes on the chain. We offer free docking and private boat access plus great fishing off the docks. Pontoon and fishing boat rentals are also available!
Surrounded by professional golf courses, award-winning Carlos Creek Winery, walking, biking, and snowmobile trails, Andes Tower Hills skiing, high-end downtown shopping, the best Minnesota breweries, and State Parks. Minutes from downtown Alexandria — Lake Darling Resort is the perfect destination for a getaway, all year round.
