Balsam Beach Resort is located on the shores of Lake Plantagenet just 5 miles south of Bemidji, MN and in the heart of Northern Minnesota. We’re the exclusive resort on the lake and have been here over 25 years!

Lake Plantagenet features over 2,500 acres of prime fishing and is surrounded by pines and beautiful shoreline. We invite you to experience the quiet wilderness of this beautiful area. Our resort is the perfect place for your fishing trip, family vacation or both! We invite you to come and relax in the comfort of our Up North setting and enjoy the splendor of all that Northern Minnesota has to offer.

No matter whether you are interested in walleye fishing, multi-species fishing, swimming, water sports, hiking, ATV trails, biking or a quiet day soaking in the sun – Balsam Beach Resort has something for everyone. While we’re in the heart Minnesota’s wilderness, we’re a short 5 minute drive to Bemidji, offering great shopping, dining, movie theater, health care, Bemidji State University and much more.

"A vacation to remember. Let the simple pleasures of fresh air and sunsets on the lake work their magic on your mind and body."
