Discover one of the Best Places to Visit in Minnesota in Winter
Located on the northernmost border of Minnesota, the natural landscapes of Baudette and Lake of the Woods offer the best features of all four seasons. 
However, winter brings a certain magical element to its gorgeous forestry and waterfront views with sparkling ice and blankets of snow. Being so far north, you will get a front-row ticket to all of the phenomenal aspects of winter that you can only get when you head up to River Bend Resort. Activities like ice fishing, cross country skiing, snow tubing, and snowmobile trails are all only a hop and a skip away from our cozy accommodations, making embarking on new adventures easy. Zippel Bay State Park is also a perfect destination for incredible winter photography or a relaxing hike through the frosty scenery. With so many spectacular experiences a stone’s throw from your doorstep, it’s easy to see why Lake of the Woods is one of the best places to visit in Minnesota in winter.
Experience Lake of the Woods Snowmobile Trails
One of the most exhilarating activities that Minnesotans enjoy each year is snowmobiling.
There is nothing quite like looking out your window to see a fresh layer of snow and hopping on a snowmobile for a heart-pumping ride through the wilderness. With hundreds of miles of trails in Lake of the Woods, this area is prime for hitting the trails for a fun winter adventure weekend Minnesota style! Bring your sled and set out on over 100 miles of groomed trails that can be accessed right from the Walleye Inn here at River Bend Resort, or take a day trip nearby for even more trail options. It’s easy to put some miles on when you discover the best of winter on the Lake of the Woods snowmobile trails.
