Northern Acres Resort & Campground - Our small, family-oriented resort and campground is located on Bowstring Lake in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest. Come and enjoy our quiet, unspoiled surroundings, beautiful sunrises over Bowstring Lake, excellent fishing for walleye, crappie and jumbo perch and other outdoor sports, scenic walking trails through the woods, many kinds of birds and wildlife, and the area's varied recreational opportunities. Watching eagles and osprey soaring down to catch a fish or watching a great blue heron nibbling at minnows in the shallows can be a real treat.

Because part of the fun in vacationing is to escape the hectic schedules of daily life, we offer no planned activities. Bowstring Lake provides activities for all ages, including fishing, boating and swimming. Biking, hiking and wildlife watching are favorite pastimes.

We can suggest local events and sights, too, to interest almost everyone. The Lost Forty, Judy Garland's house in Grand Rapids, the Palace & Northern Lights Casinoes near Cass Lake and the world-famous Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues in Bemidji are some of the unique sights in the area. Duluth's zoo & great lakes aquarium, Lake Superior's North Shore Drive, and the Wolf Center in Ely are easy day trips. There is also the White Oak Casino in Deer River, less than half an hour away.
