Marina Rentals

When fishing northern Minnesota resorts there is no greater fun than to get on the water and explore whether by boat and motor or canoe. Please reserve Marina rentals when making your reservation, if possible. Birch Lake is easy to navigate, 20 miles long, and at all times you can view the other shoreline for confident navigation. With 90% of Birch Lake being undeveloped wilderness seclusion, loads of bays, inlets and islands, there is much to explore via motorized watercraft.

Check out the Resort and Birch Lake Maps to learn more. There are no motor size restrictions on Birch Lake or the South Kawishiwi River.

Please Note: To maintain the wilderness setting at River Point which offers privacy, peacefulness and the quiet you expect and in consideration of other guests, Personal Watercraft, such as Jet Skis, Wave Runners, etc. are not allowed.
