Looking for a destination for your family reunion? Our reunion package is sure to please everyone in your group. Our expansive grounds and on-site activities will keep everyone entertained!

Bear Island Lake is every structure fisherman's dream with miles of shoreline, an abundance of structure and plenty of islands! The lake is noted by the Minnesota DNR for its Walleye and Crappie fishing but our guests will tell you that the Northerns and Bass action is just as exciting. Minnesota may be the land of 10,000 lakes, but Bear Island Lake is one of the most breathtaking northwood's lakes in the state. The Minneapolis StarTribune has called it one of the prettiest lakes in the northwoods!

Whether you enjoy Minnesota's colorful forests in autumn, Ely's glistening white blankets of fresh winter snow, fishing and wildflowers in the spring or boating and swimming in the summer your family vacation at Northern Lights Lodge and Resort will be one of a purely unforgettable nature!

If your family is ready to explore Minnesota, then we invite you to plan your Minnesota vacation here in Ely in the heart of Superior National Forest--experience the best of Minnesota's Superior northwoods right at Northern Lights Lodge. We are located at the edge of Ely and near the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area (BWCAW) which the National Geographic Traveler magazine includes as "one of the fifty places in the world that everyone should visit in their lifetime."

No two visits are ever alike. Here at Northern Lights Lodge and Resort on Bear Island Lake you'll find that our hospitality is extended with a warm welcome, memory making moments during your stay and a fond farewell until we see you next time. Our guests can experience a classic Minnesota resort experience here on the shores of beautiful Bear Island Lake in our historic cabins, deluxe lake front cabins and luxurious suites.
