If you are bringing your own boat, we have guides for $600 daily who will take around in your boat and teach you about the lake so you may mark spots and learn the lake better.
We supply towels, bedding, and everything you would want if it was your own cabin, however we don’t provide food or drinks. Please plan to bring those.
There are 3 ways to get to Oak Island Resort.

2) Boat Taxi from Baudette MN to Oak Island Resort.
3) Fly into International Falls or Winnipeg International airport and then drive up to Young’s Bay Resort and I can pick you up from there.

Crappie fishing is often excellent in September and October because of the cooling water temperatures and the fish’s pre-winter feeding frenzy. As the water cools, crappie move from their summer haunts in deeper water to shallower areas where they actively feed to fatten up before winter. This transition makes them more accessible to anglers and increases their willingness to bite.
Although fishing one of the very best freshwater fisheries in North America is the main attraction, there is plenty to do for the person that wants to give the fish a break.
Kayaks, canoeing, swimming, bird watching and nature walks are some of the outdoor options. Oak Island has a trail that traverses a large portion of the interior. However, if you prefer the inside or the weather demands, the lodge offers guests a pool table, ping-pong, and large table for puzzles, card games and board games.
In the evening many guests enjoy sitting by the campfire and reminiscing about the day’s events, telling stories and watching the stars. If it is a clear night, you have a chance of seeing the northern lights.
Off the island, some like to check out the area’s history, places like Fort St. Charles (the longest occupied French Post in Minnesota, founded by Sieur de La Verendrye, a Canadian explorer and fur trader, and included on the National Register of Historic Places); American Point (the northernmost point of the lower contiguous 48 states); or Native American Pictograph hunting.
