Fishing & Hunting at RAINBOW RESORT

Fishing

RAINBOW RESORT is located on the north shore of Little Bemidji Lake, with access to three lakes by boat. Little Bemidji Lake is one of the first lakes in the headwaters of the Ottertail River. Boaters can travel into neighboring Big Elbow Lake and Johnny Cake Lake, which combine to give more than 1,600 acres for fishing or simply enjoying nature. The three lakes are home to a variety of fish including Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bullhead, Perch, Bluegill, Sunfish, and other pan fish. Little Bemidji Lake is small enough to be safe for use by small fishing boats on all but the windiest of days. This is lake country, and there are many other lakes accessible for fishing. Ice fish/spearing houses are also available for rental in the winter season.

Hunting

There are thousands of acres of public land for hunting, with numerous public trails and roads. Our area offers some of the finest grouse hunting in Minnesota. Ducks are abundant on the ponds and lakes. In November, we are a popular destination for deer hunters as well. Inquire about our guided hunts including guided deer hunts on the more than 500 acres of resort property. We will pick you up at the door of your cabin and take you out to your deer stand on resort property. We also have wheel chair accessible deer stands. Other guided hunting packages including grouse, ducks and bear are also available.
