sojurn. Located in the heart of the Superior

other Ely, Minnesota resort-- River Point Resort is surrounded by tall stands of mature white
pine, Norway pine, birch, and maple, and bordered on three sides by
crystal clean water. It is a wilderness lodge and vacation retreat where
one can reconnect with family, friends and nature; and enjoy planned
outdoor activities,
recreation, and fine fishing.
Incredible wilderness surrounds
Ely, Minnesota Resorts, unlike other area
lakes which are dotted with private cabins, outfitters, and other Ely
resorts. The
"Naturally Superior"™ location of River Point Resort is also steeped in history, as
it is the site of a nationally significant archaeological find of the
Laurel Indian culture in 1982, dated 500 B.C.
While a guest at River Point Resort, one of your
recreational options is to explore the Boundary Waters by canoe for just a
day -- Germany's Lufthansa Magazine (9/00) says River Point's
"location on Birch Lake is a good place to set out on day trips".
Or, pursue fishing for golden walleye, giant northern pike, slab
crappies, bluegills, and feisty smallmouth bass right on Birch Lake and
the South Kawishiwi River in a motorized watercraft. There are plenty of
coves, bays, islands, and rocky points on 20 mile-long Birch Lake to provide you with a
lifetime of angling memories. Excellent guided fishing day trips on Birch
Lake are available for the fishing enthusiast, as well as complimentary
fish cleaning, marina, on-site Bait & Tackle Shop, and friendly,
service-orientated staff offering sound fishing advice. Well-maintained
waterfront rentals,

motors and driver's console, and pontoon boats are available for
