River Point Resort
River Point Resort & Outfitting Co. is A Naturally Superior Wilderness Destination™ located on the northern, most remote half of Birch Lake and the South Kawishiwi River at the doorstep of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on a magnificent, secluded mile-long private peninsula, just 10 minutes from the quaint town of Ely, Minnesota. With national press recognition, including “Best of the Midwest” by Midwest Living Magazine, this one-of-a-kind Minnesota family resort offers lakefront accommodations with screen porches, double whirlpools, and fireplaces. Spacious, meticulously kept grounds under a canopy of birch and pine, incredible water and forest views and exceptional privacy creates a special magic of its own.
Delight in boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, and building sand castles. Take a steam in the new sauna and “jump in the lake”! Roast marshmallows over a bonfire and watch the night sky twinkling above. Escaping to the tranquility of a Minnesota resorts vacation at River Point Resort® will open your eyes to a world in harmony with nature. One where granite crags and towering timbers dominate the skyline. One where crowds of people are replaced with peace and serenity. Pine scents the air, whether inside or out, and you know that you are in for a unique wilderness experience. Anchored by tradition, River Point Resort & Outfitting Co. provides Minnesota resorts vacations and rental cabins in Minnesota and has been “Making Wilderness Memories” for generations of families since 1944
