Lodging

Lodging is avaible year-round at IBSL, though many of our facilities are only open early-May through mid-October.

All visits to IBSL must align with the Station's mission; cabins may not be rented solely for recreational purposes. Please check Itasca State Park facilities for recreational visits.
