Iowana Beach Resort on Portage Lake

Vacation at our Minnesota Resort - Your Three Season Resort




Iowana Beach Resort is nestled into the Chippewa National Forest on the shores of beautiful Portage Lake in Northern Minnesota, midway between Grand Rapids and Bemidji Minnesota. With only two resorts on the lake and little residential development here, guests find a relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy nature. Iowana Beach Resort is an angler's paradise offering excellent fishing on Portage Lake as well as close proximity to world-class fisheries like Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake.

Kids love our sandy beach which features a "kids only" fishing dock and a waterslide. Our shoreline is shallow so there is no need to worry about sharp drop-offs as the kids wade or swim. The playground includes a basketball court and is located next to the beach - making this area of the resort a popular place! Parents can relax on the beach and still keep an eye on the kids whether they are in the water or swinging on the swings. We also offer paddleboats, kayaks and canoes free to all our guests to explore the waters and wildlife of Portage Lake.

Planned children's activities bingo, karaoke night and minnow races make Iowana Beach Resort fun for all ages. Other big hits include the paddle boats, the lodge with its video games and satellite TV and a rentable TV/DVD for movies. Our sandy beach and the safe "kids-only" dock allow parents to keep an eye on their children while soaking up the sunshine; and most importantly we offer a safe, family environment free from noise, traffic and everyday hassles.

Although Iowana Beach is a family resort, guests of all ages and interests can expect a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, clean, modern accommodations and top-notch customer service.
