Beach

Thanks to our unique location, Bowen Lodge offers guests a choice of two beach areas:

Our main beach is located in the protected water of Cutfoot Sioux and provides swimmers with a clean, sugar sand bottom. There's plenty of room for everyone; A place to tan, crystal clear water for swimming, kayaking, paddle boating and our RAVE Aqua Jump.

On Lake Winnibigoshish, a more secluded beach provides guests with the perfect spot to get some peace and quiet. While you're watching the lake, you'll spot bald eagles along with a variety of shore birds. Be sure to stick around for a stunning Minnesota sunset.
