About

Wake up and witness a beautiful sunrise from your cabin deck and/or watch a family of baby ducklings feed outside your cabin windows. Witness the rare white pelicans, majestic eagles, soaring osprey, diving loons, bountiful deer, and other wildlife, as you enjoy your morning coffee and begin your day.

Your Minnesota Family Vacation will be filled with wonderful memories of early morning fishing, and maybe an afternoon hike, bike, canoe, or kayak trip. Each day could be filled with fishing, swimming, beach volleyball, horseshoes or mini-golf. While the kids go fishing on one of our docks, you can relax, read, and sun yourself beside them. Fish Minnesota as the sun begins to set, or take a pontoon ride with family and friends, making this a vacation to remember. Evening campfires under the starlit sky are the perfect way to share stories and unwind after an exciting day.  Maybe you will see the Northern Lights!

Northern Minnesota fishing is a blast for every member of the family. The Pelican Lake fishery is known far and wide for its abundance of pan fish (bluegills, crappies, and perch), northern pike, largemouth & smallmouth bass, and walleyes. From May through October, you can enjoy a Minnesota family vacation second to none. Fishing Minnesota must include fishing Pelican Lake in Orr, MN. We also rent our cabins to hunters in the fall.

Bird watching is fun all year long. Berry picking begins in June and runs into July. Almost any night you can travel to the American Bear Vince Shute Sanctuary (7 miles to the west) and see bear cubs and families playing in their natural environment. Voyageur’s National Park, the Boundary Water’s Canoe Area (BWCA), and Canadian Border are within an hour’s drive of the resort.

At Pelican Lake Resort we focus on the three F’s.

Fishing with Family and Friends.
