Zippel Bay Resort

Zippel Bay Resort offers deluxe lodging in pristine wilderness along legendary Lake of the Woods. Here, you’re assured a serene stay among wildlife and world-class fishing in the only resort on Zippel Bay. These secluded Northwoods are a hot bed for four seasons of fishing, hunting and outdoor fun. Rent a fishing boat or hop aboard a chartered trip to cast for walleye, sauger and northern along 65,000 miles of shoreline. In fall, hunting for everything from ducks to deer to bear is plentiful. Come winter, you can fish from comfy ice houses and then head back to the lodge, which offers a delicious American plan. New, luxury log cabins at Zippel Bay feature lofts, fireplaces and Jacuzzis, or choose a housekeeping cabin for any size group or budget.

With its endless activities and spacious lodging, Zippel Bay makes for pure family fun in the great outdoors. An outdoor pool, swing set and game room are terrific onsite amenities for the kids. Everyone will love exploring the lake in canoes and kayaks; and snowmobiling and cross country ski trails abound in the winter.

Fishing

Zippel Bay is sure to be full of big catches and great times among 65,000 miles of shoreline, 14,000 islands and the highest walleye/sauger limits in Minnesota. Enjoy ice fishing from heated houses or hop aboard a summer charter trip. After your fish-filled day, a warm meal is waiting for you in the lodge.
