SIMPLE PLEASURES OF NATURE

Most of the area immediately surrounding Rainbow Resort is undeveloped forest land with an abundance of wildlife. There are numerous trails for hiking, biking, jogging and enjoying nature. Rainbow Resort is next to the northern border of the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. The more than 40,000 acres of Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge provides an exceptional opportunity for observing nature.

In addition, Itasca State Park is within a half hour drive. Itasca State Park is Minnesota's first state park and has more than 30,000 acres. This is where the Mississippi River begins its journey to the Gulf of Mexico. There are miles of hiking, biking, and skiing trails and beautiful stands of Norway Pine.

FISHING

Rainbow Resort is located on the north shore of Little Bemidji Lake, with access to three lakes by boat. Little Bemidji Lake is one of the first lakes in the headwaters of the Ottertail River. Boaters can travel into neighboring Big Elbow Lake and Johnny Cake Lake, which combine to give more than 1,600 acres for fishing or simply enjoying nature. The three lakes are home to a variety of fish including Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bullhead, Perch, Bluegill, Sunfish, and other pan fish. Little Bemidji Lake is small enough to be safe for use by small fishing boats on all but the windiest of days. This is lake country, and there are many other lakes accessible for fishing. Ice fish/spearing houses are also available for rental in the winter season.

HUNTING

There are thousands of acres of public land for hunting, with numerous public trails and roads. Our area offers some of the finest grouse hunting in Minnesota. Ducks are abundant on the ponds and lakes. In November, we are a popular destination for deer hunters as well.
