Where in the Midwest can an outdoors enthusiast go to find true wilderness adventure? Where can an angler go to find some of the best smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, or lake trout fishing in the Midwest, probably even North America? Where can a family or group go to get a taste of the north woods flavor? Two words, one thought, will sum it up: Ely Minnesota. The Ely area offers all the fishing and outdoor activities the angler, adventurer, or outdoors-person might be looking for.
As appealing as the wilderness is, some visitors to Ely prefer to "rough it" in a little bit of luxury. How much "luxury" is up to the individuals. There are some ultra-modern resorts in the area that can provide any amenity desired. Some resorts have very nice play areas for children, serve gourmet meals, and even have whirlpools and hot tubs. Others cater more to the folks who prefer to do their own cooking and who want to enjoy a simpler lifestyle for a few days. From lakeside suites to rustic cabins on a point of land extending into the lake, you can find what you're looking for to make your trip to Ely memorable.
The town of Ely is of itself a very unique and interesting community. The shops are distinctive and have a true North Country flair. A day can be easily spent just investigating the various shops in Ely. It is advisable that when you visit this community, you leave a little room in the vehicle for souvenirs. Most visitors return home with rugs, furnishings, wall decorations, or trinkets that remind them of their trip to this area on the edge of the wilderness. These mementos bring the wilderness aura of Ely a little closer to their everyday lives

Ely sure is a nice place to live.
I've lived outside of town,and in town.It's great all around up here.
The ice is about off all the lakes up here,and should be better than your average opener as well..due to the mild winter we've had.
You'll find some good smallmouth fishing on Burntside Lake also,once that lake warms up..:)
