Denny’s Resort

Located right on the Mississippi River near Lake Winnibigoshish in Bena, this is a solid option for getting your boat on the water in northern Minnesota. It's a semi-private access point managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, so you'll want to check on any specific requirements or hours before heading out. The area is great for exploring both the river and lake system, with plenty of fishing opportunities if that's what brings you out. It's worth a stop if you're in Cass County and looking to launch without too much hassle.
