Follow your dreams, we recommend it - we did it.  We are the proud Owners of Rocky Shores Resort Deer River, MN.  Thirty years ago our first dates included a dozen crawlers and fishing poles.  As a young girl, Mary Kay would row herself back onto the lake to fish, when everyone else was done fishing.   This resort is a retreat from a stressful world.  The cabins are just steps to shimmering Bowstring Lake.  We want to make your vacations the best possible vacations. If you need quiet and nature, it's here.  If you need some great fishing locations there are hundreds of spots in 9,000+ acres of Bowstring Lake,  If you are looking for a seasonal RV space we have several.  If you are looking for a safe place for kids to swim we have a heated swimming pool with sun deck.  Follow our blog as we live the dream of providing a premier vacation resort experience for your family.

Makin' Maple Syrup
Spring! Its here!  Rocky Shores resort cabin and campsites are surround by approximately 25 acres of natural Sugar Maple forest.  A maple forest is known as a “Sugarbush.”  In the spring when the days get around 40 degrees and the nights are still below freezing the maple sap runs.  This year we decided to try making maple syrup.  It takes 35-40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of pure maple syrup.  Each tree produces 5 to 10 gallons of sap each year, it differs by year and there is no deducible reason for variation such as water table, temperature, etc.  The sap is no longer good for syrup once the tree begins to bud out.  We had a blast this past week, getting outside in the sunshine and boiling sap into maple syrup over a wood fire.  We’d love to tell you all about it this summer!  Just ask.

Ice Fishing - ya gotta try it!
Minnesota winter catch - a 21" Northern Pike.  This tasty beauty was reeled in my Mary Kay.  People who have never tried ice fishing usually add that they aren't going to try.  Remember you are in an ice house.  The heater makes it very warm - all the outdoor clothing come off quickly.  Then there is fish TV.  You can watch the monitor and see the strike on your hook.  There's a bunk for taking a nap, don't worry the reels are mounted to the wall and when the line moves the bells ring.  You never get sunburned.  Bowstring Lake is a natural fishery.  It is one of the best lakes in Minnesota, naturally, - it is not stocked by the MN DNR.  We have winterized cabins so an ice fishing weekend couldd be a nice Rx for your "cabin fever."
