The neighborhood bar at Barnacles Resort

Mudflats is a seasonal bar and restaurant tucked inside Barnacles Resort & Campground on the north side of Mille Lacs Lake in central Minnesota. Whether you're a regular or just passing through on your way to the lake, pull up a stool — the beer is cold, the chicken is crisp, and there's a good chance somebody will talk fishing with you.

Knotty pine, a full bar, TVs for the game, and our own Mudflats Light on tap.
