About
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes and Pocahontas Resort is on a picturesque lake in the heart of Central Minnesota in Ottertail County near Perham.
Who wouldn’t want to get out and enjoy the fresh breeze, grilling outside, eating at a picnic table, playing in the sand on the beach, swimming, shooting hoops, playing on our swing set, a game of horseshoes, maybe sun tanning on the beach or floating on the lake with an inner tube? What else can you do? How about fishing? A canoe ride, or a short ride on a pedal boat? How about a campfire and smores?
Dead Lake has many species of fish. The lake has 7,901 acres of water, and 30 miles of shoreline with many islands and bays for fishing and watersports. Maximum depth is 65 feet. Our guests have caught northern, walleye, largemouth bass, sunfish, bluegills, crappie, and perch.
Cabin Rentals and Amenities: We have 10 lakeside cabins fully furnished that can accommodate 4 persons. Each cabin has a queen and double bed. Cabins have private bath with tub/shower. A kitchenette with stove, refrigerator, toaster, coffee pot, dishes and some utensils. A dining table and couch are also furnished. Every two cabins have a boat dock for fishing or hooking up your boat. We also provide a picnic table for your use.
On those hot days of summer, each cabin is air-conditioned for your comfort!
Seasonal or nightly camping is available on a limited basis. We have full hookups and a shower house for our camping guests.
We have a small store that offers our guests some basic items: pop, candy bars & five, ten and twenty-five cent candy pieces for the kids (it’s tradition…used to be a penny!!), ice cream treats, ice for your drinks, and charcoal.
We stock Pocahontas hats, caps, and t-shirts. We have an assortment of post cards, if you would like to mail your friends back home. We have fishing tackle and supplies along with some live bait.. night crawlers, and leeches.
Last, but not least, we sell gasoline for your boat or recreational vehicles… whether oil added or not!
We can’t wait to see you at the lake!
