This Northeastern Minnesota resort offers lakeside cabin and villa accommodations, and a campground. The location is perfect for family vacations and quiet resort getaways. The area is known for excellent fishing for walleye, lake trout, northern pike and smallmouth bass. In winter, reliable snow depth from December through March creates a premier destination for snowmobiles, with miles of groomed snowmobile trails.
We have recreation for all seasons! If you like hiking, the Nor'Wester Lodge area on the Gunflint Trial offers hundreds of miles of hiking trails. Just bring your hiking boots and your camera and explore!
