Silver Rapids Lodge & Campground - A historic lakeside resort with private trails, multiple lakes access, and year-round outdoor activities
Located 4 miles from Ely on a private peninsula, this 5-star Ely hotel dates back to 1919 as one of Minnesota's original resorts. Silver Rapids Lodge & Campground spans across White Iron and Farm Lakes, providing access to 20 miles of shoreline across four connected lakes. The property features lakeside cabins ranging from two to eight bedrooms, motel suites with kitchenettes, and RV sites with full hookups. Guest accommodations include private fire pits, picnic areas, and decks overlooking the water. The Hearthside Lounge serves Uncle G's Pizza daily and features a wood fireplace. Outdoor enthusiasts can access private hiking trails, cross-country skiing paths, and direct connection to the Tomahawk snowmobile trail. Silver Rapids Lodge maintains over 10 fishing docks with electrical hookups and offers boat rentals through Your Boat Club partnership. The property sits at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Superior National Forest.
Pros
Direct access to four lakes with 20 miles of explorable shoreline
Miles of private hiking and mountain biking trails on 40 acres of wooded property
Year-round activities including ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing
Modern shower facilities and fish cleaning house for outdoor enthusiasts
Cons
Cabins do not have television or air conditioning
Located 62 miles from Chisholm-Hibbing Airport
“Here's what I think: the location on the rapids is undeniably beautiful, with some thoughtfully placed fire pits and barbecue grills by the cabins; clearly, a spot designed for long evenings outdoors. While it seems the property has seen better days, the friendly staff and good food, especially those wings at the restaurant, add a lot of appeal. I'd say it's a solid base for exploring the Boundary Waters.”
