Riverside Point is currently closed until May.

We currently are not open in the winter months.  Park Rapids is served by over 500 miles of snowmobile trails.  Our resort is located across the river from the famous Heartland Trail.  From the Heartland Trail  the Paul Bunyan State Forest trail can be accessed.  To the north west is Itasca State Park trails, Two Inlets trails, and White Earth Forest trails.  All these trails are interconnected so you can put on as many miles as you wish.  

Ample parking right at your door.
