Bearskin Lodge is an idyllic getaway on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This is the only resort on the pristine East Bearskin Lake, surrounded by Minnesota’s legendary Northwoods and the best fishing, canoeing, hiking and biking you can find. The fun doesn’t stop in the winter: cross country skiing and snowshoeing are fantastic on 77km of onsite, groomed trails. Outside each cabin or villa is perfect wilderness - no mowed lawns or fountains. Inside, you’ll find the kind of place for warm, comfortable gatherings you don’t often find at a wilderness resort with crackling fireplaces, distinctive décor and no phones; enjoy private use of the hot tub house and sauna.
Family
The Gunflint Trail is a terrific place for family vacations, and at Bearskin Resort you’ll see why: play on the sandy beach with complimentary watercraft. Teach the kids to fish off your private dock. Or introduce them to the outdoors through the nature & children’s programs tailored just for kids.
Lake
The lodge is the only resort on four-mile long East Bearskin Lake. Walleye, Northern pike, bass and lake trout populations thrive here, and guided fishing trips are offered mid-May through mid-September. Just adjacent to the BWCA, Bearskin is a convenient hub for Boundary Waters day trips.
Nature
It's one of those last great places: The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, part of the Quetico National Reserve, is Bearskin Lodge's back yard on the Gunflint Trail. It's your chance for spectacular cross country skiing, fishing, canoeing and hiking - some of the finest you’ll ever find.
Outfitters
A wilderness vacation can be a rugged, do-it-yourself experience. Or, it can be quiet and serene, the kind that takes you to a new level of being. That’s what you’ll find at Bearskin Lodge, where everything you need is provided: motors, bikes, boats of all types, seasonal fishing guides and more.
Romantic
There’s nothing more romantic than quiet solitude among water, wildlife and wilderness. And at Bearskin Lodge, all of this is accented with cabin and villa accommodations that instantly provide the warm and intimate atmosphere that you and your special someone have been looking for.
Ski
Winter, the season of "silent sports," is Bearskin's specialty. This is the best cross country skiing in the nation: 77 km of groomed ski and designated snowshoe trails challenge skiers of all abilities. And if you just can't get enough during the day, 1 1/2 kilometers are lit for night skiing.
Cabins And Cottages
You might be surprised to find such comfortable, elegant accommodations in this remote setting. Each cabin occupies its own secluded area along East Bearskin Lake and includes a private dock, kitchen and fireplace. Get the quiet solitude you crave from the Northwoods without sacrificing comfort.
Lodges
The main lodge at Bearskin Lodge is where all the fun begins during your wilderness getaway. It houses a gift shop, groceries and equipment rentals; connected to it you’ll find four two-story lodges, each with a private dock, that are terrific for groups of up to eight.
