Kids and adults alike love our outdoor, heated swimming pool. It is a great place to wile away the hours on a warm summer day. Centrally located on the resort - our pool is visible from many of our cabins. Don't feel like swimming? Our playground is a great place for kids of all ages. Toddlers to pre-teens love our climbing equipment and sandbox while older "kids" can enjoy a game of horseshoes, volleyball, tetherball or basketball.
Our Lodge is a great place to escape for a few hours to play video games or a game of pool. Our library is a good place to find a good book and a quiet place to read it or to watch a little TV. Snacks are available at our Snack Bar where you can have some ice cream or a pizza.
We have regularly scheduled activities during the peak summer season free of charge to our guests. These activities include: minnow races, Tie Dye Tuesday, campfire and marshmallow roast, crafts. Free popcorn in the lodge all the time!

Fishermen will love fishing the "walleye rich" waters of Bowstring Lake - also known locally as "Minnesota's Pike Hole." A naturally reproducing walleye lake, Bowstring also offers abundant populations of perch, crappie and panfish.
If you are interested in a little sightseeing while in Minnesota we invite you to explore Itasca County and the Chippewa National Forest. Click here for some great ideas for an afternoon outing!
