Summer Fishing
on Bass Lake
Bass is also a wonderful recreational lake. With a DNR-rated clarity of 10.75 feet it is a clean and beautiful body of water. Our safe, shallow shoreline is perfect for wading and exploring among the reeds. Our sandy beach is large and inviting and our swimming area is large with no sudden drop-offs. Lounge on the beach or float on a raft and enjoy the warmth of the summer sun. Build sand castles or snorkle under the docks. Take a ride on the paddleboat or canoe or enjoy a day of waterskiing or tubing. No matter what your idea of a great day on the lake – you will find it on Bass Lake!
ATV/OHV
As the popularity of OHV/ATA trails increases so do the number of great trails in our area! Itasca County offers thousands of acres of federal, state, county and industrial forest land that are open to off-highway vehicle riding, but very few designated trails exist. Forest or logging roads are an excellent choice for ATV/OHV use. Each municipality or level of government has a different management plan that governs off-highway vehicle use on their lands. Please check with those governing bodies and know the rules for the type of land you are riding on. Not all classifications of forest roads are open to traffic so be sure to know the rules before you travel.
Fishing
Fishing from our docks is always an adventure for the young anglers. There are plenty of little perch and sunfish swimming around our docks just waiting for a worm on a hook! If the fish aren’t biting near shore, the family is sure to have more luck out on the lake fishing from a boat or pontoon.
Campfire
Is there anything better on a summer night than relaxing by a campfire and watching the sun go down? We don’t think so! Since we are on the east shore of Bass Lake, Wildwood offers you the best possible seat for spectacular sunsets. We have firewood for sale and offer FREE DELIVERY to your fire pit…we even deliver it with a smile. Don’t forget the s’mores…
Playground
Our playground is another huge hit with our families! It features safe and sturdy equipment, a hard surface basketball court and a grassy area perfect for a game of catch. Centrally located – it is convenient for mom and dad and fun for the kids!
Lodge
Our Lodge is attached to our home and is the hub of most of the resort activity. We sell ice cream treats, candy, ice, t-shirts, and some souvenirs. We also have movies, games and books to borrow, lake maps, free fishing advice, area information and we are always ready to enjoy some good conversation around the ice cream freezer.
