Northland Lodge Resort and Campground

Located near Deer River in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest, Northland Lodge Resort and Campground offers boat access to Lake Winnibigoshish (Big Winnie), one of Minnesota's premier walleye fishing lakes. The facility features a boat launch with available docking (additional fees apply), making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The resort also provides direct access to Little Winnibigoshish Lake, a more pristine and undeveloped waterway ideal for paddlers seeking quieter conditions.

Paddlers can take advantage of free canoe and kayak use if staying at the resort. Lake Winnibigoshish is known for excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for walleye.
