Things To Do
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. For more info on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness go to www.recreation.gov. To learn more about wilderness stewardship, including the BWCAW, go to the National Wilderness Preservation System at http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&WID=70.
Ely MN Area Hiking Trails: Within a few miles of the resort, there are exceptional hiking trails to explore. The Bass Lake trail features a scenic waterfall. Berry picking, bird-watching, and the occasional glimpse of wildlife are among the features of the Big Moose Loops, North Arm, North Junction, Angleworm, Fenske, Echo, and Sioux-Hustler trail systems.
Summertime Resort Activities: Join us Sunday mornings for a complimentary brunch of freshly-baked donuts, a review of our planned resort activities, and an informative seminar on fishing conditions and "hot spots."
One night is set aside for a complimentary resort-wide BBQ cookout. This is a good time to get together, sample some great food, meet people from all over the country and make new friends.
Ely MN Area Attractions: Ely MN has numerous attractions to fill your time while you enjoy your stay with us, including the Dorothy Molter Museum, the International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, the Ely-Winton Historical Society, and the Soudan Underground Mine State Park.
