Around the Lodge
Summertime Resort Activities: Join us Sunday mornings for our “meet and greet” with resort staff and fellow guests. Get the latest weather and fishing report and an informative seminar on fishing conditions and “hot spots.” Donuts, cookies, coffee, and a very relaxing time provided.
KIDS: Register your fish at the Lodge for your chance to win the “Biggest Walleye Contest”. You will have all week to fine tune your fishing skills. Prizes awarded on Friday evening.
On those hot summer days, take the “little”ones to our wading beach and watch them have a ball. For the older kids, they are sure to have fun on our water trampoline or scooting around the shoreline with one of our free paddle boats or kayaks. For those not so nice days, stop in the lodge and nestle up with a book or play a game or two.
Day Trips by Canoe: There’s no better way to experience the wilderness than with paddle in hand. We’re surrounded by miles of easy to moderate “canoe country” routes that can be accomplished in a day. Just pack your camera, a fishing pole, and a picnic lunch. We’ll help you choose a route to meet your interests and even provide car-carriers for your canoe. BWCAW entry permits for day trips are FREE.
