How about getting away from cell phones and the shuffle of the city for a day or a week, more? Come on up north and catch more fish than you can imagine. With over a million acres of true wilderness and thousands of lakes to choose from, we have undoubtedly the best smallmouth fishing in North America. Wilderness walleyes? Nothing beats the reward of a little extra effort to get to those “secret” fishing holes. Experience an ‘age-gone-by’ traditional campfire cooked shore-lunch with freshly caught walleye. Then see some pristine waterfalls, northern lights or pictographs, maybe a moose? Northeast Minnesota has some of the best wing shooting for Ruffed and Spruce Grouse in the nation. Endless trails and solitude. Check out my package prices and discover the incredible value that Bushey Guide Service has to offer due to our lifelong experience in fishing, camping and guiding in the Northwoods and multiple referrals to prove it, I will create an experience that works for you.

The pebble spa company is currently made up of two cozy spas in the heart of Northern Minnesota. Experience the best of the spa world with the excellent service of a small town!

Built on traditional forms using long proven methods, a custom canoe by Jeanne Bourquin will carry you and future generations on many adventures across quiet waters.

Recently, Jeanne has been adding an Ojibway profile to her canoes, calling them Indian Otter and Indian Atkinson Traveler. Wondering if a Wood & Canvas canoe is the right choice for you? Owner, Builder, Jeanne Bourquin answers the question, Why Wood?
