*** The Aqua Tower & Launch ***
Some major pieces have been added; the "Tower" with climbing wall, slide and a 20' launch. A new aqua log has also been added to the aqua trampoline. Even on the cool days the kids run from the sauna on the dock to the floating water park. We love to see 'em happy.
Note to June Guests: The water equipment is launched based on safe water temperature & weather.

Horse Back Riding Lessons
Special Offer for Northern Lights Resort Guests

Horse riding lessons in an indoor arena! This beautiful facility is located 30 miles from Northern Lights and the cost is only $25 per hour. We the owners (and especially our granddaughter who will be taking lessons) of Northern Lights are really pleased to offer this special treat to the guests of Northern Lights.

The quality of the stables is impressive and we are proud to have the opportunity to share this with our guests. Plan to include this activity while you are at Northern Lights Resort. Call ahead as the lessons have to be coordinated around the schedule of the trainer. This opportunity and the cost at $25/hr is a very unique opportunity.
Guests can make lesson reservations when they arrive at the resort. Lessons will be given during the weekdays Monday - Friday. For more information on the riding lessons please call the resort.

The Northern Lights are a beautiful site to see at Northern Lights Resort. From your cabin, deck, dock, beach or boat you are sure to get a beautiful view of this fantastic event.

Check out our Northern Lights Picture page to see what we mean.

Take hikes on the Echo Bay Trail or into remote interior lakes.

We have evening campfires to watch the sunset and enjoy socializing.

A Gorgous Sunset

Our most important goal and activity is for you to relax, unwind, enjoy your friends and family and re-charge your batteries.

We will help as much or little as needed. Our grounds are spacious and provide privacy. We are sensitive to interruptive noises and conscious to minimize them.

A trip to historic Kettle Falls is a tremendous thrill. It is only accessible by water. About 25 miles from our dock. There is a waterfall and full service 1912 hotel with food and beverage.

In the spring the fishing is excellent, birds are active, the bears are out of the dens with cubs foraging for food.

Mid summer is a great time for water sports. You can usually find smooth water in our bay or others for water skiing. July is Blueberry picking time.

The autumn is bright with colors, and again very hot for fishing.

Early in the week we provide "Youth Quest" activities for our guests from 5 to 17, which will vary with the weather and age groups. The activities can include, hikes, canoeing, kayaking, a trip into an interior wilderness lake or an island campfire lunch. This allows the kids to become acquainted with each other early in the week to enjoy the week together.

We have a paddle boat and a few bikes to use anytime.

Our guests love to fish and explore the waterways at Voyageur's National Park.

Each Sunday evening, please join us for Sundae Sundays and build your own delicious Ice Cream Sundae. Then eat it while socializing with the staff and other guests.

Ladies Coffe Cruise

One morning per week, usually Monday, there is a ladies morning coffee cruise on our new 24' pontoon (with a porta-potty) to get acquainted and enjoy the wilderness.

Beyond Northern Lights, the Voyageur's National Park Service provides a whole summer of really fun things that include park tours, kids adventures, wildlife walks, "Birds Before Breakfast" hikes, evening campfire programs, beaver pond explore or paddle a 26 foot voyageur's canoe "Canoe du Nord". The area is rich in history and connects us with our cultural roots, along with the mysteries of geology and the wonders of nature.

It is also fun to take a trip to International Falls or across the border to Fort Francis, Canada. Both cities have 18 hole golf courses. There is an Indian burial mound, Grand Mound History Center, 17 miles West of International Falls or the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary, near Orr, where you will get real close to the bears in their environment.

A vacation at Northern Lights will expose you to the essence and embodiment of the Great North Woods and we want to make that a fabulous experience that you will love to share with your friends and family. We take our responsibility for that very seriously. "Come Be Our Guests".
