Fishing

The Horseshoe Chain of Lakes has been called "the best-kept secret in central Minnesota." Fish species in the lakes include walleye, muskie, northern pike, bass, crappie, bluegill, and channel catfish and many of these are stocked. The Chain has over 2,500 acres in its 14 lakes, all of which are accessible by boat.

But fishing isn't the only 'par for the course.'  Remember to bring your golf clubs as we are just minutes away from three golf courses.  Also a short drive away are horseback riding, movie theaters, spas, and more.

 

For those who enjoy shopping, we can point you in the direction of shopping malls, antique shops, and specialty shops. Then there is an espresso shop about 10 minutes away. 

 

We are also just an hour away from Albertville outlet shops on I-94.  Just a little further down the road is Cabela's sportsman's shop in Rogers, only an hour and a half from the resort is 'The Mall of America' located in Bloomington, Minnesota which is one of the largest malls in America and features an indoor amusement park, and an underwater aquarium.
