Minnesota Fishing
The 3rd Crow Wing Lake is well known for producing bigger and more walleye than the average northwoods lake. Abundant Large Mouth Bass, Northerns and Crappies will round out your catch. Kids catch panfish nonstop right off our docks. With easy access by boat to 3 other lakes in the Crow Wing Chain you can always find the best fishing and then use our fish cleaning house to prepare your catch.
You can rent a fishing boat/motor, family pontoon boat or electronic fish finder at the lodge. Advice on what to use and where the fishing is hot is always free. If you bring your own boat, Big Timber Lodge has gas and oil, a concrete boat ramp and lots of dock space. See the resort map, location, and driving directions.
