Bowstring Shores Resort - Your Year Round Vacation Getaway
Bowstring
Shores isn't just a summer vacation destination! Surrounded by the
Chippewa National Forest Bowstring Shores offers year-round fun in the
form of fishing, hunting, fall color tours, and
relaxing. Fall in the northwoods is an incredibly beautiful time of
year. With cooler weather, beautiful foliage, great fishing and
hunting opportunities it is hard to imagine a better place to plan a fall
trip. As the water temperature cools in
response to the cooler
weather and shorter days the fishing on Bowstring Lake goes from excellent
to out of this world. Fall also marks the start of hunting season
for grouse, bear and, a little later, ducks and deer.
Hunters find our location ideal with prime hunting opportunities in the
Chippewa National Forest. See the schedule
below for information on season opening information.
As
fall gives way to Old Man Winter, life in the northwoods slows like sap in
a maple. It's the time of the year when we huddle by the heater in
the house....the FISH house that is! Plan an ice fishing trip to Bowstring Shores Resort and experience angling through the ice. If
you don't fish - don't worry! With miles of
trails nearby
we
offer exceptional snowmobiling and cross country skiing opportunities.
You can even rent a snowmobile in the area
when you get here.(click here)
No matter the
time of year Bowstring Shores Resort offers a great place to rest and
restore your soul. Call today to begin planning your next vacation
getaway.
