Blog | Getaway To Big Sandy Lodge & Resort

Booking Winter time in northern Minnesota can be your best time to explore all that the region has to offer. Don’t hibernate this winter. Instead, embrace the season at Big Sandy.

Here’s a quick sampling of the fun that awaits! Snowmobilers can find direct access to miles of trails, winding through beautiful forests and across frozen lakes. You’ll experience some of the best riding in the Midwest, with Big Sandy as a prime basecamp location. For anglers, great ice fishing abounds just steps from your cabin door. Drill a hole, drop a line and spend the day chasing panfish, walleye or pike.

Families have just as much fun. Kids and adults alike fall in love with our sledding hills, snowshoeing trails and places just play in the snow. Parents can have their own getaway on peaceful cross-country ski loops. And when noses get cold, the lodge’s indoor pool provides year-round fun in a warm, safe setting.

After a day outside, Big Sandy also makes a winter evening magical. Return to your cabin, warm up by a crackling fire and enjoy chef-inspired meals that taste even better after a day outside.
