TIME TO ESCAPE
“A new adventure is coming up, and I’m sure it will be a good one.”
- Sigurd Olson

Winter has retreated, and the sun is shining on River Point Resort & Outfitting Co.
in Ely, Minnesota, The Gateway to the Boundary Waters. The sparkling water and lush greens are never so inviting as after a cold, gray winter spent indoors. Imagine it… Waking up to the leisurely flowing South Kawishiwi River and expansive Birch Lake meeting the shore outside of your wilderness cabin; deciding whether to spend the sunny day on the lake or hiking the private Trail of Reflections with no worries, because you can’t go wrong; preparing the day’s catch for dinner or whipping up a family meal in your cabin’s comfortable kitchen; then, ending the day around a bonfire and beneath a twinkling blanket of stars with the best company, your family and friends.
Springtime is upon us, and River Point is ready to welcome guests beginning May 13!

WHAT'S NEW AT RIVER POINT?
“Your Cabin at the Lake”
Featured Accommodation:
While there is no doubt that each of River Point’s nine lakefront cabins have amazing, “in-your-face” water views, the Bayport Vacation Home Cabin shines a little bit brighter these days due to a wonderful makeover in the spring of 2015.
|
|
For those of you considering a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin comfortable for up to eight people, do give Bayport some serious consideration. You’ll be most pleased that you did! And, yes, many couples have enjoyed all of our 3 bedroom cabins at River Point as their own spacious getaway. Bayport Cabin is a remarkable 1200-square-foot home with vaulted ceilings done in knotty pine for a warm woodsy atmosphere.

Recent renovations reflect the passion and skill father-son duo, James and Steve, put into every construction project they tackle. Massive full-wall windows shine light on the new rock-faced gas fire place, custom hickory cabinetry in the gourmet kitchen, which includes a pantry, plenty of counter space, and stainless steel appliances, and resplendent ceramic-tile flooring that flows throughout the living room, kitchen, and screened porch. Just 25 feet from the lakeshore, the three-bedroom Bayport Cabin is waiting for your family to fill it with vacation time memories.

FISH ON!
Fishing at River Point means golden walleyes, hefty small mouth bass, slab crappies, and feisty northern pike. The excellent early season walleye fishing has always been a drawing point for a journey Up North. And, small mouth bass fishing can be downright incredible. These bronze beauties will offer you some of the most exciting action to be found anywhere.
|
|
|
Explore the entire northern half of 20-mile-long Birch Lake and discover hundreds of beautiful coves, inlets, quiet bays, islands, and rocky points, where the expansive lake meets the easily navigated South Kawishiwi River as it wraps around River Point’s wilderness peninsula. Along with Stony River, just 5 away, these rivers and waterways provide great opportunities for fishing action during the spring and early summer.
|
|
Beginning in May, through June, and into early July is the best time to enjoy the fish-abundant waters meeting the shorelines of River Point Resort and Outfitting Co. just outside of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Nothing beats coming back to your
chalet
,
villa
, or
cabin
with freshly caught dinner. Fresh green spring and early summer foliage, the colder waters under a bright sun, and, historically, one of the best times for northern waters fishing make for great memories on the water and off....right at River Point, your Ely Minnesota
fishing resort
.

|
Kawishiwi Hiking Trail
Just 10 minutes from River Point, the Kawishiwi Hiking Trail leads to Kawishiwi Falls, roaring with water rushing from the yearly spring time thaw.
|
|
|
Fun Fact!
Did you know the water moving through Kawishiwi Falls flows right past the shores of River Point Resort & Outfitting Co.'s secluded wilderness peninsula and back into the BWCA?
