Info

Eagle Nest Lodge was built in 1924 by Herb and Jessie Bowen. They built three resorts in the area, Cutfoot Sioux Inn, Bowen Lodge and Eagle Nest Lodge. Eagle Nest Lodge started as a fishing camp with it's first cabins being moved from Cutfoot Sioux Inn to Eagle Nest Lodge via frozen lake. Customers would arrive by train in to Deer River, MN and then take a truck ride 20 miles north to Cutfoot Sioux Lake. The dam was not built at the time, so Cutfoot Sioux Lake and Lake Winnibigoshish were two separate bodies of water. As the years went by, Eagle Nest Lodge transformed into more than just a fishing camp. We now cater to the serious fisherman as well as families. Our natural setting is one of a kind, offering the vacationer world class walleye fishing, a one of a kind natural beach and family fun. Generations of memories abound due to Eagle Nest Lodge's dedication to reaching and exceeding it's customer's needs. Each year we learn about more and more wonderful people that once spent time at our resort and come back to relive the memories. Each year we also host families that have been coming here for generations, some for over 50 years!
