Let's cut to the chase: River Point Resort & Outfitting Co. will shelter you, equip you, and point you on the path to fishing glory. All you have to do is accept the offer.

While River Point has great fishing year round, it truly comes to a head in June. Multitudes of walleyes, northern pike, and plenty more are to be found, big and juicy as they come. Meanwhile the fresh green foliage, colder waters, and bright sunny days make Ely an ideal spot for getting closer to nature. So next time someone asks you what you're doing this June, tell them that you'll be at the northern end of Birch Lake- at River Point Resort!

The resort in the Superior National Forest is 1 mile from Route 1 and 11 miles from the town center.
