We are surrounded by wilderness in a secluded bay on 16 acres, with nearly a ¼ mile of shoreline. Lake Kabetogama (Ka-be-tow-ga-ma) is one of a chain of wilderness Border Lakes with majestic scenery and part of Voyageurs National Park on the Minnesota, Ontario border. From our dock, there are 65 miles of uninhabited, road-less wilderness waterways with hundreds of islands, bays, coves, rock bluffs and gorges. There are 19 other remote hike in or fly in lakes with a variety of fishing and lots of adventure. Fisherman love the fishing, our cabins are loved by the ladies and those particular about their comforts, kids love our sandy beach, water trampoline and our weekly Youth Quest.

Guest Comments on Northern Lights Resort

June 2009
    I wanted to send a note, detailing our excellent stay at Northern Lights Resort & Outfitting. Our party of eight has been doing an annual fishing trip for over 25 years. This year was our first at Northern Lights. The Moose cabin was great! Great, as defined by; very clean and ready when promised, beds were in very good condition with newer bedding, kitchen was very well appointed with new dishware, cookware and flatware, all appliances and amenities working and in good order and a wonderful view of the lake. All of our needs and expectations were met or exceeded and with a pleasant response. The staff was always available, or offered to be available if outside of normal operating hours.
    Thanks for a great and memorable trip. We will be back and some of us are considering a family vacation in the summer.
Sincerely, Doug Rupp

    I also would like to take this opportunity to thank Northern Lights Resort for their generous gift to my cause. On thursday night, they presented me with a check for $400 for the Breast Cancer 3 Day. They have been doing a fundraiser all summer in my honor. My love and appreciation go out to Tom, Pat, Harlan and Heidi. You guys are the greatest!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Some major pieces have been added to the Aqua Tramp! The "Tower" with climbing wall, slide and a 20' launch as well as the aqua log. Even on the cool days the kids run from the sauna on the dock to the floating water park. We love to see 'em happy.

Northern Lights Resort is a Green business
Prior to the opening of the season, NL sanitizes the well and the entire water system to every faucet of every cabin and every faucet of possible personal consumption. We conserve water with low flush toilets, water saver shower heads and other devices. NL has a sofisticated pretreatment sewer system that is collected from around the resort, pumped to pretreatment wetlands and eventually to alternating drain fields 800' to 1,300' back from the lake. With your help (and we thank you) we re-cycle and pay to have garbage hauled nearly 90 miles from the resort. We are converting to low watt florescent light bulbs, use biodegradable and safe cleaning products and are exploring the addition of adding solar to suppliment some of our energy needs. As our budget allows you will see we are converting our outboard motors to 4-stroke for more efficient gas consumption and less lake polution. We take extra measures to deal with rodents and insects that may intrude into the cabins. We are conscious of and deal responsibly with our enviroment.
We are committed, Pat, Tom, Heidi and Harlan.
