At nearly 10,000 acres, Gull is the largest lake in the Brainerd area. Maximum depth is 80 feet and nearly 30% of the lake is 15 feet or less. These shallow waters consist primarily of sand and gravel. Rubble and boulders abound in many shallow bays.
This lake is connected to eight smaller lakes through a series of navigable channels but Gull Lake is the granddaddy of them all. The reason Gull holds such a phenomenal fishery is that it is blessed with superb fishing structure for all species. It’s large, it’s deep and it has sharp rocky drop-offs going down like stairsteps into the depths — perfect hideouts for big fish, especially walleyes.
The upper section of the lake is characterized by sunken islands, sand and gravel bars and rocky reefs. The lower section, south of Gull Point (formerly Squaw Point), is a group of large bays with numerous humps, sunken islands and massive weed flats that have a varied selection of healthy lush weeds, perfect for largemouth bass.
