The Beach
Protected well in the bay near the main boat dock is a nice beach. It provides a safe area for smaller children who like to play in the sand, with the water dropping off gradually. There’s a volleyball net next to the beach and a fire pit that’s popular for evening bonfires.

The Lodge
Our lodge sits on the water's edge of Lake Vermilion and is central to the resort. The lodge has a large deck for our guests to enjoy. We designed our lodge to accommodate a wide variety of our guests’ needs.

The Dam
Water from Lake Vermilion spills out and cascades down through the east side of the resort's property then opens up into the Vermilion River. From there the river runs north 42 miles to Crane Lake and beyond to Hudson Bay. This provides the beauty and sounds of the whitewater rapids for our guests to enjoy. Below the rapids, we have a dock equipped with a boat and canoes for those who would like to explore the wilderness of the Vermilion River.
