McArdle's Resort

Welcome to the Heartland of the Chippewa National Forest.

We are located on the mouth of the Mississippi River entering Lake Winnibigoshish.

From our natural harbor you can travel mile after mile and view Lake Winnie's virgin shoreline.

Lake Winnibigoshish is one of the finest Walleye, Perch and Northern Pike lakes in the state. This lake is a great producer of fish. As a general rule, the best time to fish is: Walleye - May to the first week in July and Mid August until freeze up. Northern Pike - July through October. Large Perch bite well all year!

During the summer, on our well kept grounds, you will find the heated swimming pool for our registered guests. Also overlooking the waters edge is our dining room with reservations served at designated hours.

Snowmobilers can enjoy miles of groomed trails in Minnesota wilderness while the ice fisherman and his family can enjoy catching Lake Winnie's famous perch.

We would like to personally invite you to join us in experiencing the natural beauty of Lake Winnie.

Lodging
Our housekeeping cabins are fully equipped and range from modern to deluxe to New ultra-deluxe units. Plus, we feature a campground with full hookup for your recreational vehicle.

We carry groceries and even souvenirs for your everyday needs. If you would like to leave the cooking to us, we have a complete dining room with the most beautiful view of the Mississippi.

Grounds and Activities
We have water fun for the entire family which includes a heated swimming pool, paddleboats, and canoes to use on the lazy waters of the Mississippi River.

Off the water you can challenge your friends or family to a game of volleyball, basketball, or horseshoes. The younger set will enjoy the playground while you relax in the lodge or possibly catch a great ballgame on television.

Fishing
Everything is right here for the fisherman: we have live bait, tackle, fishing licenses, guide service, concrete launching facilities, boats, motors, and even someone to clean your fish for you whether for immediate use or to bring home for the freezer.
