Bowstring Lake
-
The Best Walleye Fishing In Minnesota
 Bowstring
Lake is located in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest and is
well-known as one of Minnesota's walleye fishing hotspots. A
naturally reproducing walleye lake, Bowstring offers anglers 9,220 acres
of fishing paradise. Known for its large population of northern
pike Bowstring Lake is often referred to as "Minnesota's Pike
Hole." Bowstring Lake also offers abundant populations of perch, crappie
and panfish - making it one of the best fisheries
in the state.
 At
Bowstring Shores Resort we want you to catch fish! Our dock and
mooring facilities are top-notch. We offer gas and bait sales at the
water's edge so you don't have to worry about the business of fishing
getting in the way of the FUN of fishing. Do you prefer fishing
through the ice? Stay with us this winter in one of our winterized
cabins. We offer discounted rates for fall and winter stays so you
can afford to plan two fishing trips this year!
