Kids love fishing right off our docks.
Uncrowded
North Star Lake is a pristine, spring fed
1,052 acre lake
3 1/2 miles long x 1/2
mile wide with varying depths down to 90’.
North
Star consists of many bays, points, islands and great underwater structure.
The lakeshore
is mostly undeveloped & surrounded by National Forest land.

There’s
always a quiet, calm spot to fish with little boat traffic.
Located
in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest, North Star offers
challenging fishing & abundant recreation
amidst breathtaking scenery with
15
miles of shoreline & clean, clear water.
It’s a fisherman’s paradise and a
water-lover's dream.
Big
Timber is conveniently located near the Chippewa National Forest public boat
landing
on
North Star, which is the safest boat launch on the lake.
Once
launched, you can tie your boat up to our docks.

We
feature free use of an Alumacraft fishing boat, or a free dock space for your
own boat.
We
also offer free lake maps, & lake advice on catching that whopper.
Enjoy
the use of our well-kept fish cleaning house to prepare your catch as well as
use of our dockside boat house with
individual storage lockers and electrical outlets.
The boat house
is a great place to recharge batteries & keep your gear out of the
elements.

Besides
the excellent fishing on North Star Lake, you can also try your luck at
one
or more of over 100 other unspoiled
lakes within a short distance of Big Timber.
Our county, Itasca, has over 1000 lakes in
it.
From
nearby pine fringed lakes with well-maintained public accesses, to remote,
seldom visited lakes hidden away amongst the
forest covered hills,
you
can experience the fishing adventure of a lifetime.
