Because part of the fun in vacationing is to escape the hectic schedules of daily life, we offer no planned activities. Bowstring Lake provides activities for all ages, including fishing, boating and swimming. Biking, hiking and wildlife watching are favorite pastimes.
We can suggest local events and sights, too, to interest almost everyone. The Lost Forty, Judy Garland's house in Grand Rapids, the Palace & Northern Lights Casinoes near Cass Lake and the world-famous Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues in Bemidji are some of the unique sights in the area. Duluth's zoo & great lakes aquarium, Lake Superior's North Shore Drive, and the Wolf Center in Ely are easy day trips. There is also the White Oak Casino in Deer River, less than half an hour away.
Please plan to provide appropriate parental supervision for children of all ages, especially near the water!
2010 is our fourteenth year at Northern Acres Resort & Campground and we want to extend a warm invitation to all our guests both "new" and "old" to plan ahead for another busy summer. Because we understand that the economy is severely impacting many of us, we have not increased our rates for camping this year and cabin rates went up by only $5.00 per night although our taxes, licenses and insurance continue to climb. Our goal is to provide you with everything you need to have your best "up north" vacation ever.
