You will find extraordinary lodging experiences when you come to visit Lake of the Woods.  Most visitors come to Lake of the Woods for the incredible outdoor activities.  Fishing is certainly at the top of the list but do not forget boating, relaxation, birding and wildlife viewing, golf, water sports, and more.  With such a variety of activities, we are fortunate to have a wide variety of resorts and hotels to meet the varied needs of travelers.

From a small resort with cabins that a family or group can cook their own meals to more of a hotel setting to larger resorts with brand new cabins with all of the conveniences of home, Lake of the Woods has a little bit of everything.

You are able to take a scenic drive through virgin forest areas, use ATV trails, see the state’s flower along roadsides, gaze at the rapids, watch the pelicans, look for deer and see how many eagles you can spot. Nature always offers you great entertainment as well as exploring the great waters of Lake of the Woods.

The beach at Zippel Bay State Park offers a great place to collect shells and allow the kids to go swimming in safe and shallow depths of cool water. I am constantly amazed at the fine offerings of lodging options in this area.  You can rent smaller mom and pop cabins or stay in a resort with swimming pools and restaurants.

Hospitality is the very best feature of our resort community. As a local person, I must say that each resort owner is so open to have us visit their restaurant, or sit and have a beverage while watching the boats come in, or just enjoy a relaxing time sitting at their beach area. People that have visited our area are usually repeat visitors because they are greeted like family that comes time and again to continue forming relationships with proprietors and their staff.
