Fishing & Boating in the Northwoods

Crane Lake, MN

How long would it take you to explore a quarter-million acres of waterways that provide some of the most outstanding and breathtaking views the North Country has to offer? Visit Crake Lake; a place that is almost as pristine as it was when the last Ice Age sculpted it from solid granite and basalt.

“Where the highways end and the wilderness begins…”

From the cry of the wolves to the mournful song of the loon to the eerie glow of the Northern lights, the Crane Lake area offers the vacation experience of a lifetime… in all four seasons. Almost exactly the same now as it once appeared to the Indians and fur traders of centuries past.

Only minutes from Voyageurs National Park, the Canadian border and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, this is the place to kick back and enjoy nature at it’s finest. Crane Lake. It’s what you’ve been looking for.

Fishing since the age of eight.  Seriously writing since the age of 16. Chef and foodie from the age of 22 years… and counting. So much to learn and so little time. I have enjoyed every minute of it all.  Whether on the water (where I like it best), in the kitchen, or at the keyboard, churning out content, I feel like I have found my place.  I am sharing it with you in the hope that some of what I love to do will rub off on you. I hope to see you On the Lake!
