Beach

A highlight of Half Moon Trail is its inviting sandy beach. Toss in a line from the dock, take out a paddleboat and go for a swim. Or, just relax in a row of chairs; beneath you is the warm sand, in front of you is Minnesota's crystal clear Boot Lake, and all around you are dazzling gardens and well-kept lawns.

Family

You won’t find more exciting and original family and children's programs anywhere in the region – mainly because many of the games and activities have been invented at Half Moon Trail! Enjoy sailboat building and racing, Stomp Rocket Golf, Noodle Mania, minnow races and much more. It's a Minnesota family getaway, redefined!

Fishing

The Minnesota fishing at Half Moon Trail is suitable for challenge-seeking anglers, and for those who are just dropping in a line. Beginning in early June, experienced anglers will discover a world of walleye, northern and bass in Boot Lake, up to 109 feet deep. And any time, the kids can catch sunnies right from the dock!

Lake

Half Moon Trail owes much of its natural beauty to the 348-acre Boot Lake – a narrow, deep lake that’s perfect for a variety of water sports. Watercraft of all kinds, including fishing skiffs, kayaks, canoes and paddleboats are available right at the resort. Or, just relax and enjoy the view on this Minnesota lake!

Nature

As if the colorful gardens, forest and clear waters at Half Moon Trail aren’t enough, you can also discover diverse bike trails at nearby Itasca State Park. Take a trail ride on horseback through either of two state forests. Visit the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. And that’s just the start on your Minnesota vacation!

Cabins And Cottages

Inside any of Half Moon Trail Resort’s cabins you’ll find new meaning in the word “upscale.” Knotty pine interiors, full kitchens and modern yet distinctive furnishings combine with imaginative two- to four-bedroom loft layouts. Half Moon is a true getaway for anyone seeking a Minnesota lakeside or lakeview retreat.

Lodges

The lakeside lodge at Half Moon Trail is the center for old-fashioned, Minnesota family fun. Yet along with the video games and ping pong, this cozy lakefront lodge features an "adult country" hot tub and sauna, fireplace room and more. You can even stay in any of three cozy lodge rooms!
