Williams Narrows Resort is a family-run retreat nestled between Winnie and Little Winnie lakes, offering cabins, campsites, and peaceful waterfront access. With direct docking and boat rentals, it’s a relaxed spot ideal for anglers and outdoor lovers. While the resort doesn’t offer in-house guiding, many guests elevate their stay by booking guided fishing trips with Zup’s Guide Service—led by licensed guide Scott Zupfer.

Lakeside Living & Easy Launch

The resort provides a private dock and gentle shoreline access, making early morning launches simple. Guests can rent boats on-site or opt for pickup by Zup’s Guide Service for guided trips. All-inclusive packages include the boat, tackle, electronics, bait, and fish cleaning—letting guests focus on the experience rather than logistics.

Cabins, Camping & Comfort

Williams Narrows features cozy cabins with lake views and fully equipped kitchenettes, as well as RV and tent campsites shaded by towering pines. The grounds include picnic areas and fire rings—perfect for evening gatherings. Despite its rustic charm, guests enjoy modern amenities and easy access to both lakes via a short portage or single launch.

Expert Local Fishing Guidance

Scott Zupfer of Zup’s Guide Service offers expert-guided trips on both Lake Winnibigoshish and Little Winnie, targeting walleye, perch, pike, and panfish. Scott supplies everything needed—boat, rods, tackle, and bait—plus hands-on fishing insight and fish-cleaning. Each outing is tailored to seasonal patterns and personal preferences.

Private, Flexible Fishing Days
