Preparation
The right preparation for your Kinsey houseboat vacation can mean the difference between an outing on a houseboat and a vacation full of lifelong memories. Once you leave the dock on our floating lodge, you are the captain of this fun filled vacation. Tie up in a secluded bay or on a sandy beach. Swim, sunbathe, fish, read or just kick back and relax. Surrounded primarily by undeveloped forest, you can camp, picnic or explore the 100 miles of shoreline wilderness. Ely and Babbit also include many attractions for the whole family to enjoy. By checking out our preparation section and taking a little time to plan ahead you can rest assured that you will have everything needed to make the most of your vaction.
A map of Birch Lake is provided with tie up sites, beaches, reefs and water depths marked, also a handbook detailing boat handling, motor operation and use of all the equipment in the cabin. If you have trouble or need advice just use the radio, we will help you.
