In the summer, enjoy a drink on the deck overlooking the river, do some fishing, canoeing, or enjoy our annual tube float, where we float down the river on inner tubes and make a day of it. The Menominee River has wild and scenic shorelines, and is great for canoeing or any type of boating. Don't tell anyone, but the fishing here is great with huge bass, walleye, northern, and musky, as well as the abundant Panfish.

Float Trip Highlights - July 2008

Fall brings deer hunting season, and both gun and bow hunters stop in to show off their trophies, share a few stories, and enjoy some good company. The Menominee River is also one of the few places with a hook and line fishing season for sturgeon, the biggest fish around. Turkey hunting is growing in popularity as are grouse and the other fall hunting seasons.

Winter brings snowmobiling, one of our favorite seasons. The Bear Point has a longstanding tradition of being a must hit trail stop for snowmobilers, and snowmobiling is spoken 365 days a year here!

When the day is over and the memories are yours to keep forever, you can walk across the street to our comfortable 7 unit motel for a good night's sleep. These clean comfortable units are very affordable, and are located right where the good times happen.

The Bear Point has a longstanding tradition of good times and good friends. Stop in and see what all of the fun is about! Read on to see more about the Bear Point Yacht Club and Motel!
