Both, novice and more experienced bird watchers can find a stay at the Glenmore rewarding. There are many opportunities to add numerous birds to your life-list during your stay on Lake Vermilion.

The common loon is synonymous with Minnesota and our guests can relax in a comfortable cedar Adirondack chair while watching a pair of loons swim right off the end of our docks.

Numerous species of birds live in and visit, seasonally, the dense Northern Minnesota Boreal forest surrounding Glenmore Resort.

Bald Eagles can be viewed circling the resort on a bright, beautiful summer day.

Enjoy seeing Great Blue Heron feeding in the still waters adjacent to our sand beach while you enjoy a famous Lake Vermilion sunset. The Ojibwa Indians, our neighbors across the bay named Lake Vermilion for its distinctive red sunsets .... "Lake of the Sunset Glow."

You can spot other wildlife too.  Deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and other animals fill our woods.
