Maple Bay, Minnesota

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maple Bay is a Minnesota place name associated with a small, unincorporated second home and cabin community on the west end of Maple Lake, a lake in central Polk County, Minnesota, approximately 6 miles west of Erskine, Minnesota.

Maple Bay is located on a paved road which connects Mentor, Minnesota and United States Highway 2 with County Road 41 en route to Fertile, Minnesota. The nearby lake is a summer resort and playground for residents of Crookston, Minnesota, Grand Forks, North Dakota and other nearby communities, and also offers excellent ice fishing. Since the 1920s, Maple Bay has generally included at least one general store catering to resort and second home residents of the area. Local lodgings include Ulland's Resort and Campgrounds, Oak Cove Resort, Camp Shalom and Lakeview Resort Restaurant and Lounge (all listed in Mentor, Minnesota yellow pages), as well as the Inn at Maple Crossing, http://www.innatmaplecrossing.com/index.html. The Maple Lake dance hall and roller rink was no longer in business at last report.
