Guided Fishing Trip - Nice Catch!

 

 

It's hard to beat the feeling of a walleye biting at your hook, or the explosion of a Bass or Northern attacking your bait.  We have 4 lakes, all connected, to boat and fish.  Fish for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Crappies.

Canoeing


Canoeing North Kawishiwi River

 

 

Ahhh... the quiet dip of a paddle.  Paddling the boundary waters is what many people come to Ely, Minnesota to experience.  Take a day or overnight Boundary Waters trip right from our resort.

 

 

 

Hiking

Timber Trail Lodge has many hiking opportunities to explore right from your cabin door or just a short drive away.  We have maps available to take with you along the way and can even arrange a guided trip for you or your group.

Relax in the water.  Our sand beach is a great place to hangout on a warm day and cool off.  We offer free paddle boats and miniature kayaks for use while our guest.

 

 

 

 

 

Float Plane Rides


Scenic Flight over the Northwoods

 

 

See the Northwoods through the eyes of an eagle as you soar over the resort and the surrounding wilderness.  One day a week we schedule a float plane to come to the resort and take those interested on a great flight over the area.  A must for those who want a spectacular view of all that surrounds you throughout your stay.

 

 

 

 

Massage


Treat Yourself to a Relaxing Massage in Ely

 

There's nothing like a first class massage to put you in full relax mode during your vacation.  From facials to foot treatments you are covered head to toe.  Choose from herbal body wraps, seaweed gel wraps, hot stone massage, Swedish massage,  deep muscle massage, European facial, cooling facial, herbal facial, anti-aging eye & lip treatments, aromatherapy, hand & foot treatments and much more.  That's a whole lot of relaxation... you will feel like royalty when you add one or more of these massage treatments to your stay.

 

 

Golf


Legend Golf Course

 

Golf the Northwoods.  Ely has a nine hole course just minutes from the resort, but don't limit yourself to just our course... enjoy one, or more, of the three championship courses just 40 minutes away!   Golf the Legend, the Quarry or the newest course, the Wilderness and experience outstanding courses without all the people and pressure found in most parts of the states.  The Wilderness was just named the #1 new upscale course in the US by Golf Digest Magazine.  The Legend and Quarry are both in the top 100 courses in the US!

International Wolf Center


International Wolf Center

 


A museum dedicated to wolves with fascinating exhibits including several taxidermy mounts displaying different postures with descriptions of what they mean and how wolves communicate.  The highlight of the museum is it's own wolf pack, living in captivity, which can be seen in the large windowed viewing area.  Feeding times are scheduled and can be watched... great way to see how the wolves interact and pack behaviors.

 


Dorthy Molter Museum

 

The last person to live in the Boundary Waters, Dorothy Molter's Isle of Pines was a favorite stop for many canoeists over the years and "the" place to get a bottle of her home brewed rootbeer.  Dorothy's cabins were removed from the Isle of Pines on Knife Lake after her death and transported to Ely where a museum has been established in her honor.  Stop by for a very informative tour and get your own bottle of her "kwitcherbeliakin" rootbeer.

 

 


Great Mine Tour

 

 

Go on this tour and you will find yourself over one mile beneath the surface.  A great ride and a cool tour.  A favorite of our guests and one they do time and time again.  See and learn how residents of our town and the surrounding area made their living in the labor of the mines.

 

 


Slots at the Casino

 

 

Got a few extra bucks?  Try your luck at a nearby casino, located just 40 minutes away.  Slots, Poker, Blackjack and more await you and hopefully lady luck on your trip to this Northwoods casino.

 

 

 


Soda Fountain & Shop in Ely

 

An absolute must.  What's a trip to Ely without venturing into town?  This is not your usual tourist town shopping, Ely offers many unique stores and wares, much of which can only be found only here.  With everything centrally located and within walking distance all you have to do is park the car and wander the streets.  Be sure to save time for an old fashion malt at the local soda fountain.

 

 


Antlers Lounge

 

 

While you're in town plan to stop and eat at one of the many restaurants located here.  With downtown Ely only 7 miles from our resort you can try several of the fine eateries while you are here.
