Discover forests of pine, spruce, birch and maple, with many trails and logging roads to explore.  There are thousands of acres of undiscovered, unspoiled and undeveloped land here just waiting for your visit.  There is also direct access to hundreds of uncrowded lakes and rivers with clear, pristine waters.

One of the favorite activities of visitors is watching the abundant wildlife including deer, moose, wolves, bear, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, beaver, bobcats, fox, rabbits, mink, otters, lynx, and wolverines.

Birding enthusiasts can find many of Minnesota's most sought-after birds right outside their cabins.  We are home to the largest concentration of bald eagles and common loons in the continental United States.

Come explore the small friendly communities along the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway.  You'll find plenty of shopping, dining and other activities to enjoy.

This area is all part of the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway, a 47 mile drive along breathtaking scenery and interesting historical areas from Grand Rapids, Minnesota to Effie, MN.  To find out more about where we are located and how to get here, please click the "Directions" button above. The Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway has been listed as one of the Best Fall Color Drives in America.

Each fall the hunting opportunities abound for ducks, geese, ruffed grouse, whitetail deer, bear and moose. (The Fall fishing is great too!)

In the winter, you can relax in a resort cabin or comfortable motel room complete with a fireplace, then get a bite to eat at one of our area cafes or restaurants before heading out to take advantage of our well-groomed snowmobile and cross-country skiing trails. Our trails intersect with trails leading to every part of the state.

We hope you'll find the lure of our Northwoods too irresistible to pass up.  We want to help you start your own Edge of the Wilderness Vacation Tradition - one that will last for many years to come.

Best Regards,
