About Us




Winnibigoshish General Store and Resort is one of the most famous sites in Northern Minnesota. This Federally recognized historic landmark has been serving Minnesotans since 1932.




Nestled in the center of the Chippewa National Forest, this historic treasure (currently undergoing a complete restoration) gives you a glimpse of the Skillman ship, art and design that is a prime example of 1930's Bavarian Architecture.





We provide a full convenience store consisting of: groceries, gas, bait, beer, wine, off-sale liquor, coffee and cappuccino.



Fifteen Full Hook-up campsites have been added in late 2007- with many more to come. Full Restrooms and showers have been restored along with a new laundry facility currently under construction. This Northern Gem sits along Highway 2 in Bena Minnesota, surrounded by trails for walking, snowmobile or A.T.V. riding, public beach access along with public boat launches on bountiful lake Winnibigoshish.


We are a full service Resort and Trading Post suited to meet all of your needs from: hunting, fishing or just plain relaxing. With its lavish history of the Ojibwe people and loggers whom created this town, the Winnibigoshish General Store and Resort has offered pride and recreational enjoyment in the Bena area for generations, and will create lasting memories for generations to come. Travel back with us to a simpler time and enjoy the beauty of this historic location.
