At Bowen Lodge, our cabins become yours.
Since 1925, Bowen Lodge has built its reputation as a world-class resort for walleye fishermen visiting Northern Minnesota, as well as a premier vacation destination for families seeking the northwoods experience.
Owned by the Heig family for over 40 years, the atmosphere at Bowen Lodge is friendly and accommodating, with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and family traditions. Our five-star location within the expansive Chippewa National Forest allows our guests to escape the literal and figurative noise of everyday life.

For fishing pros and casual anglers alike, Bowen Lodge is a key point of entry for Lake Winnibigoshish, Cutfoot Sioux Lake and surrounding waters. We pride ourselves in affording our guests the experience of a true multi-species fishery. Including the coveted walleye, you can hunt for trophy muskies, crappie, bluegill, perch, largemouth bass and the mighty northern pike.
Generations of families continue to make Bowen Lodge their "home away from home". Here, memories are made with s'mores around the campfire, enjoying family time at the beach, relaxing on a sunset pontoon ride, or just cozying up in the cabin.
