One of the advantages of living in the heart of a national forest is knowing that year after year, the fall colors will be spectacular!  The Chippewa National Forest is well known by those who annually follow fall color tour routes.   There are miles of driving, hiking and biking routes to explore in these Northwoods.  And there is nothing more spectacular than sitting in a boat on Island Lake watching the brilliant colors reflect in the dark blue waters.  So what are you waiting for, call now to book your reservation, before it's too late!
 
Looking For Great Fall Hunting?
Look No Further!

The forest surrounding Northshore Bay Resort is full of Ruffed Grouse.  These birds are exciting and a challenge to hunt.   The season for grouse and partridge begins in mid-September, and there is nothing like walking thru the forest on a beautiful fall day in the Northwoods.  Give us a call to set up your next Grouse Hunting trip - 1-888-219-5235.

For the "really big game" hunter, the season for Minnesota Black Bear opens at the beginning of September. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota bear population is about 30,000 and has been estimated to be increasing at a rate of 6 to 7 percent each year.  The license application deadline is in early May. Northshore Bay Resort is in a quota area that allows one bear taken per hunter. Bear hunters staying at the resort have had great success over the years and we invite you to try your luck here this fall.  Ask us about guided hunting trips.
