Preferred Location
Mukooda Lake
This lake is about 5 miles from the Lodge by boat,
and the hike to Mukooda is relatively easy, less
than a block long. We have two boats on Mukooda
available for Pine Point guests to use. The lake
is known for its small and largemouth bass, lake
trout and abundant panfish. This is an actionpacked fishing lake for youngsters and adults alike.
Fabulous Fishing
are the #1
Mukooda is a clear, spring-fed lake with a clarity
of approximately 20’. Bring your snorkel or scuba
gear and head to the depths of the astounding
lake. Swim amongst the bass and other fish as you
explore this phenomenal
lake.

akes and rivers
Crane Lake
Only one mile from the end of the road gives Pine Point
the quiet getaway location that you will cherish each time
you visit. Being strategically located at your back door, the
BWCAW, Voyageurs National Park, and Canada’s Quetico
Provincial Park offer you unspoiled wilderness with millions
of acres and thousands of scenic shoreline miles to fish, hike,
and explore.
From Crane Lake you can travel over 120 miles by boat. Crane
Lake has many natural fishing areas. On either side of Pine
Point’s Peninsula, there are two separate rivers coming in.
Walleyes, bass and crappies key on the forage that is abundant
in these incoming waters.
An incredible sight, the Crane Lake Gorge
Loon Lake
One of the most scenic trips to take. Voyage down the Loon
River to a mechanical portage that allows you to cross into
Loon Lake.
An underwater ridge is located just in front of the Resort. This
makes for an excellent crappie fishing hole. In fact, try fishing from the docks at the Resort. Northerns, bass, walleyes or
crappies are frequently caught just outside your cottage door.
Find a favorite fishing hole, take in some scenic and historic
sites, or you can portage a short distance to try a day of wilderness fishing on one of our remote hike-in lakes described.
There is something for everyone!
The walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass fishing are
spectacular in these majestic waters. Fish either the American
or Canadian side.
The distance from the Lodge is approximately 20 miles.
Caution is to be used when traveling to Loon Lake. For your
first trip a guide would be recommended.Anticipate seeing a
majestic bull moose, black bear, playful otters or other mystifying wildlife. Don’t forget your camera for this trip!!
On our wilderness lakes, we have a limited number of boats
available for our guests. The low fishing pressure in these
lakes keeps the fishing at world class level. Fish for trophy
walleye, large and smallmouth bass, crappie, northern pike,
lake trout, and a variety of panfish.
Vermilion River – River fishing at its best!
Our 14’ boat is nestled below the falls on the Vermilion River.
This allows you to fish the area from the Vermilion Falls down
to the Rapids above the Gorge at Crane Lake.
Lilac Lake
Attention anglers! Lilac Lake produces unbelievable
northern pike, lake trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Approximately 10 scenic miles by boat from the Lodge, this
lake is located just across the border in Canadian waters.
After a one-quarter mile portage on relatively flat
terrain, you’ll be on the pristine shorelines of Lilac Lake ready
for a great day!
Note: Very little fishing pressure is on this area. We have
maps that you can review to help you become familiar with
this exclusive fishing area.
Walleyes, crappies and bass swim in the strong currents of this
secret fishing hole.
Warning: With the abundant northern pike also lurking
in the waters, your topwater fishing can become a thrill of a
lifetime. Grab your pole, tacklebox, and get prepared for some
fierce fishing!
www.pinepointlodge.com
The 300-yard portage is very scenic wilderness trail.
Sharpen up your river fishing skills on the Vermilion River.
Get ready to reel them in!

One of the most picturesque areas of Crane Lake is the
Vermilion Gorge. The trail can be picked up just around the
point from the Lodge. There is a nice picnic area located at the
mouth of the gorge. Let us know if you would like to use our
shore lunch kit for an afternoon picnic.
A 10-minute hike on a well-maintained trail going southwest
puts you at the Vermilion Falls, a cascading torrent of water
forced through a 10-foot-wide opening in the granite.
The 3 mile Vermilion Gorge Trail, at a leisurely pace, can be
easily hiked in 3 hours. The last portion of the trail parallels
the Gorge – a rugged landscape of sheer granite cliffs and
rock outcrops. As you begin this portion of the trail, notice the
change in vegetation. The ground is covered with a soft, green
moss carpet sprinkled with spearmint plants to enhance the
beauty of this majestic, scenic wonder.
The northeast section of the trail will lead you to “The Chute,”
a constriction in the river that produces a Class III to V
rapids. This is a pleasant 5-minute walk and worth the effort.
Look for wild rice beds. The shoots begin to emerge in midJuly and seed heads won’t develop until the first part of
August. Extensive wild rice beds flourish along the Vermilion
River and are harvested by humans and wildlife alike from
late August through October.
A breathtaking adventure you must experience.
Are you looking for a one of a kind
Muskie trip of a lifetime?
There are picnic tables and fire grates at the site for a perfect
afternoon adventure!
Imagine telling your friends that you fished for a distinct
muskie that was left behind after the glaciers receded
thousands of years ago! Truly, these unique fish are only
found in this exclusive lake and have been labeled a genetically
dwarfed species. Your adventure begins with a 2 1/2 mile hike,
where you will find a canoe, then paddle for one mile, and finish
with an approximate quarter mile portage to this mystifying
lake. Check with Jeff or Cathy to make plans for this trip.
Your experience at Pine
Point could include motorboating, fishing, canoeing,
sightseeing, hiking along

signs or blueberries in sea-
We’d have a photo, but it’s nearly impossible to catch on film.
Grab your camera and get ready for the challenge! In any
event, in an average week, there are multiple sightings of this
prehistoric fish jumping (it looks like they are trying to fly)
out of the water. If you’re out fishing on the water, you’ll hear
a loud belly flop splash; you’ll look around quickly and then
wonder, “What was that?” Well, most likely, it would have
been a Lake Sturgeon! Not only do they jump, but when you
least expect it, one will latch onto your fishing line and give
you the fight of a lifetime! Generally, he, or she, who is fishing,
has been extremely surprised to have one on their line. This
battle with one of the oldest vertebrates on Earth can last for
hours! Typically, nine out of ten times, your fishing equipment
will lose the battle. A photo taken is a well earned prize!
