About Island View Resort
As a family-owned and operated resort since 1937, we care about creating the best experience possible for friends and families at Island View Resort. As was written in a 1950s magazine article about the resort, we’re always ready to help you “tangle with the best of fishing” and make sure “everything adds up to fun.”
About the Area
We’re located at the western edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a peninsula of Pelican Lake, in Orr, Minnesota. With over 11,500 acres of water and fifty islands that creates excellent underwater structure, the fishing community flocks here year after year to bring in a record catch. When you aren’t fishing, visit one of the many local attractions nearby or, better yet, join in the fun at one of our onsite activities that the entire family can enjoy.
