Less than a mile from Mille Lacs Lake in Isle, you’ll find Trailside Convenience Bait & Tackle. Along with all your bait and tackle needs, you can get a flat fixed. The store is right on the Soo Line South Trail that crosses 22 miles through Mille Lacs County running just south of the Rum River Sate Forest and Kathiio State Park. It’s a handy stop for ATV riders.

Owner DeeAnn Kacon has lived in Isle all her life and absolutely loves her community, though she enjoys serving locals and tourists alike. 

And the store has been lucky: In 2018 a regular player won $200,000 and tipped the clerk who sold him the ticket $10, which she spent on lottery and won $1,000!

Stop by if you’re in the area and pick up some lottery tickets, you just might be the next lucky player at Trailside Convenience & Bait.

Sales clerk Sue Hawkins loves selling lottery tickets
