River Point Resort amenities and outdoor activities are available for your family to enjoy FREE of charge before and after your canoe trip.
River Point has two natural sand beaches with complimentary one and two-person kayaks and paddle boats to have a blast with at the beaches. There is also a swim-to raft and an Aqua Jump Swim Raft. So much for the family to do before the Boundary Waters canoe trip adventure.
Great playground for the kids, private mile long hiking trail, Wolf Den Gift Shop, and friendly, caring staff to help you out with everything from instructional canoeing classes for your family to teaching you how to fish.
