ENDLESS OPPORTUNITyCurated Activities @ Timber Bay
Get in on the Winter Action
Snuggled in the crystal white snow among the towering pine trees, Timber Bay Lodge boasts a number of four-season, large, modern cabins. Perfect for a family reunion, friends getaway or retreat.
Get out your cross country skis or snowshoes and explore one of the many bays or islands along the shoreline, or enjoy the solitude of the Birch Lake Plantation Cross Country ski trail.
Snowmobile the Taconite Spur Trail located at the edge of Timber Bay Lodge. The trails from Timber Bay Lodge provide you with so many choices. Turn right and you can ride to Ely, International Falls, Grand Rapids, or Giants Ridge. Turn left and it’s off to Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior.
Downhill ski at Giants Ridge, located just 45 miles from Timber Bay Lodge. Giants Ridge is a family oriented Minnesota ski resort for all ages and abilities yet rarely a waiting line. It also provides miles of pristine cross country ski trails.
Got kids or feel like a kid? You can build some amazing snowmen, go skating or even do a little sledding. Our sledding run is epic! Play all day and get back in time for cocoa.
Just in time to check out the brand new Sauna located on a beautiful perch overlooking the lake. A great way to get toasty.
