Come unwind, adventure, and make lasting memories at North Star Lake Resort. North Star Lake Resort is a family-friendly getaway tucked away on beautiful North Star Lake, just 30 miles north of Grand Rapids, MN. Located off the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway, our resort is the perfect place to relax, play, and enjoy the natural beauty of northern Minnesota. Our 17 cozy Northwoods-sty

le cabins (2-, 3-, and 5-bedroom) are fully equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and streaming services to keep you comfortable and connected. Families love the heated swimming pool and sun deck, large sandy beach, and swim area featuring a water trampoline, giant waterslide, and a smaller slide and climber just for the little ones. Kids also enjoy the well-equipped playground and playhouse. Guests have free access to paddleboats, paddle boards, and kayaks, and can join in on games of volleyball, basketball, or horseshoes. After a fun-filled day, head to our two-level lodge — home to a downstairs game room with books and puzzles, and upstairs you'll find The Chow Hall & Class VI Bar & Grill serving up food, drinks, and good times. Fishing enthusiasts will love North Star Lake’s 1,000 acres of clear water and 15 miles of shoreline. The lake is home to trophy muskies, walleye, northern pike, crappie, and panfish. We offer pontoon and fishing boat rentals (10hp motors), and expert local fishing guides are available to help you make the most of your time on the water. Whether you're here to fish, swim, explore, or just unwind, North Star Lake Resort is your ideal northwoods retreat.

🧹💪 Last Weekend's Cabin Cleaning Crew 💪🧹

Sometimes your cabin cleaning crew is made up entirely of young men—and they're getting the job done! 👏

Between making beds, sweeping floors, wiping down surfaces, and helping get cabins ready for our next guests, these guys are proving that hard work has no age limit. It's great to see them pitching in, learning responsibility, and taking pride in a job well done.

Thanks for all your hard work, gentlemen! Our guests will appreciate walking into a clean and welcoming cabin. 🏡✨

🎨🪨 **Rock Painting Was a Success!** 🪨🎨

With **50 colors to choose from**, our young artists had plenty of inspiration to work with—and they did not disappoint! From colorful patterns and nature-inspired creations to imaginative masterpieces, the creativity on display was incredible.

Check out some of the amazing designs our artists came up with! We love seeing everyone put their own unique spin on each rock and create a special keepsake to take home or leave for our river rock garden.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the fun. We can't wait to see what our next group of artists creates! 🎨✨

🎣 The fish are biting on North Star Lake! 🎣

You never know what’s going to hit your line out here… and sometimes it’s a giant! 👀

This impressive muskie measured 47 inches and was safely caught, photographed, and released back into the lake to fight another day. 🐟💪

Whether you’re chasing walleyes, panfish, bass, or hoping for a trophy fish story of your own, North Star Lake has been producing some great action lately.

Who’s ready to get out on the water? 🌊☀️🎣

🎨 Monday's activity is in the books, and we'd call it a success! 👏

Our first Tie-Dye activity was a huge hit with guests of all ages!

From bright colors to creative designs, everyone had a blast making their own one-of-a-kind North Star souvenirs 🌈👕

This is just the beginning of a summer full of activities, crafts, games, contests, and family fun here at North Star Lake Resort ☀️🌊

Thanks to everyone who joined us — we can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings!

🎣 You never know what’s on the other end of the line! 🎣

This beautiful muskie was caught over Memorial Day Weekend right here on the lake. While muskie season wasn’t open yet, sometimes you can’t control what decides to bite your hook—and every angler knows that surprise catches are part of what makes fishing so exciting.

After a quick photo, this fish was carefully released to fight another day. 🐟

Now that muskie season is officially underway, anglers are already seeing action on the water. If this fish is any indication of what’s swimming out there, it’s shaping up to be a great summer for fishing at North Star Lake Resort.

Who’s hoping to land their own trophy this season? 👇

For those guests staying with us this week, we’ve pushed back TIE DYE to 1:30 in hopes the rain will be done by then!
