Highways 35, 169 and 6 all meet Hwy 2, which runs across northern Minnesota.
Go west to Deer River. From Hwy. 2 in Deer River, turn north on Hwy 46 about 17 miles.
Turn east (right) at Cutfoot Sioux Ranger Station onto County Rd. 35 and proceed approximately 3 miles to the village of Inger.
Continue 1.5 miles after you cross the Inger Bridge, and you will see a large white Northern Acres sign with green lettering on your right.
Take this gravel road (S. Portage Lake Rd) and follow the signs about 1.5 miles to the resort, taking a left at the first intersection and a right at the mailboxes.
The resort's only open from May through the first hard frost, but we are here year-round and the roads are maintained all year and kept well-plowed during winter months.
Bemidji (BJI) is the closest commercial airport serving north central Minnesota and is served by Delta's (formerly Northwest) regional carrier, Mesaba, with several daily flights. Rental cars are available but be sure to book in advance. Take Hwy. 2 east from Bemidji through Bena and turn north (left) on County Hwy. 9, which intersects with Hwy 46 at Gosh Dam Place. Continue north on Hwy 46 and follow above instructions from Cutfoot Sioux on. Note that Hwy 9 is a beautiful wilderness drive that crosses the Mississippi River where it exits from Lake Winnibigoshish (Winnie).
Bowstring Airport is a very small airfield for private planes, located on the north east end of Bowstring Lake. It is about 5 miles from the resort.
