Young's Bay Resort

Young's Bay Resort offers a well-maintained dual boat ramp on the shores of Lake of the Woods in Minnesota's Northwest Angle. This full-service facility provides excellent launching access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring Northwest Angle Inlet and the broader Lake of the Woods. The resort features a protected harbor, ample trailer parking, and on-site amenities including fuel, supplies, and bait.

As the primary access point in this remote area, Young's Bay is an ideal staging location for paddlers and boaters heading out onto Lake of the Woods. Note that the Northwest Angle is geographically isolated—accessible only by boat or through Canadian waters—so plan accordingly and ensure you have necessary documentation. The resort operates year-round and caters to fishing enthusiasts, making it a reliable resource for supplies, guidance, and overnight accommodations if needed before or after your paddling adventure.
