Deer Ridge Resort

Sometimes the best views are right at the water’s edge.

Clear Garden Lake water, a rocky shoreline and the roots of a tree that has probably watched a lot of Northwoods seasons come and go.

Just one of those simple little scenes around Deer Ridge Resort that makes you stop and look a little longer.

A little late-summer color at .

It’s not just the lake views that make us stop and take notice around here. Our apple trees are a sure sign that summer is beginning its slow turn toward fall in the Northwoods.

These simple moments around the resort remind us how special this place is.

A quiet Garden Lake sunrise before the rain rolled in this morning.

Even on a rainy day, there’s something pretty special about mornings at Deer Ridge Resort. Today's a good day to head into town and check out all that Ely has to offer.

Now this looks like a pretty good way to start the weekend.

Boat loaded, four-legged fishing buddy aboard, and off they go to enjoy a day on beautiful Garden Lake.
Whether you’re heading out to fish, explore the White Iron Chain, or simply enjoy some time on the water, there’s nothing quite like a Northwoods lake day.

Some days, the best view is simply a loon peacefully floating across the lake. Nature has a way of reminding us to slow down and enjoy the moment.
