From the first paddle stroke to the last toast, our concierge handles the details so you can enjoy the North Woods.
Ely sits at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and there is a lot to do here. Our concierge knows the town and the people in it. Tell us what kind of trip you want, and we will turn it into a plan that fits your dates, your pace, and your group.
Guided day trips and overnight paddles, canoe and kayak rentals, and fishing trips with local guides. We will connect you with local outfitters, whether you want an afternoon on the water or a journey deep into the wilderness.
Dog sledding, winter camping, snowshoeing, Nordic and cross-country skiing (Nordic chalet, ski trail map), ice fishing, and the Ely Winter Festival each February. We will help with gear, ice fishing guides, bookings, and a warm place to land afterward.
Hiking trails, mountain bike trails (trail map), road biking on Highway 1, and a round at the Ely Golf Club. We can help with maps, rentals, and route ideas.
Ride the ATV trails in summer (trail map) or snowmobile in winter (snowmobile map). We can help with rentals, routes, and trail conditions.
Moose watching and bird watching, with help from our concierge. The International Wolf Center and the North American Bear Center are close by. On clear nights, Ely offers dark skies for stargazing and, sometimes, the Northern Lights.
The Dorothy Molter Museum, the Soudan Underground Mine, and the town’s mining and outfitting heritage. Try a hands-on class at the Ely Folk School and save 10% on your stay with promo code Folk1938. We can set up tours and share the stories that go with them.
