Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, July 31, 2026 —
Minnesota Live is set to revisit a past “On the Road” segment, turning its attention back to Northland Resort, a destination located on Leech Lake. This upcoming feature will draw parallels between the resort’s past and present, with a particular focus on changes and continuity at the popular lakeside property.
The original report, which aired in 2008, showcased a unique attraction at Northland Resort: the “Paul Bunyan guest house.” This distinctive structure was a notable feature of the resort during that period. However, time and development have led to a transformation of the resort’s accommodations.
In place of the former “Paul Bunyan guest house,” Northland Resort now features a new structure identified as the “Beach House.” While the specific name and architectural style have evolved, the new “Beach House” continues to offer guests one of the resort’s primary appeals: scenic views of Leech Lake. This continuity in offering lake views underscores the enduring attraction of the resort’s location.
The revisit by Minnesota Live aims to provide viewers with an updated perspective on Northland Resort, highlighting how the property has adapted over the years while maintaining its core appeal to visitors seeking a Leech Lake experience. Further details on the specific changes and current offerings at the resort are expected in the upcoming segment.
