Bald Eagle out fishing!

Here is a group of photos taken by one of our guests "Mitch Huyck" a few years ago of a Bald Eagle doing a little fishing on Pelican Lake. You can see Bald Eagles daily on Pelican Lake.

Bass Fishing Paradise

Butch Furtman has shot many fishing episodes of his television show "Sportman's Journal" on Pelican Lake over the years. With plenty of Bass, fat like footballs, its no wonder why it is a bass fishing paradise!

Vince Shute Bear Sanctuary.

Wondering how many of the Aspen Resort Blog followers have had a chance to visit the Vince Shute Bear Sanctuary. All the bears are wild bears and not caged. Between 15-50 bears can be seen on any given evening feeding while the volunteers wonder around amoungst the bears with feed pales. The Sancutuary is open Memorial day through Labor day and if your vacationing in the area, it is a must see. Become a fan of our Facebook page and post some of your own personal sanctuary photos if you've ever been there.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SUMMER FUN

2013 is only 6 days old and in northern Minnesota that means plenty of cold temps and snow before we can get back to summer fun & fishing (out of a boat) on Pelican Lake. So here are a few photos to remind everyone how much fun there is to look forward to at Aspen Resort.
