Surrounded by the tall pines of the Chippewa National Forest, visitors experience the serene beauty of the Northwoods. Our seven-acre property is located on Bluewater Lake, just 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids, MN. The lake is largely undeveloped, with an impressive 20-foot water clarity and a sandy rock bottom. Wildlife sightings of loons, deer, bald eagles, and great blue herons are plentiful! Be sure to keep an eye out on hikes for wild strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Perfect for family reunions, youth groups, and large-group getaways, make Bluewater your next outdoor adventure!
