A Small Burntside Lake Retreat at the Edge of Wilderness Country
Tamarack Resort sits on Tamarack Bay at the western edge of Burntside Lake, about twelve miles from Ely. Its small collection of cabins and Superior National Forest setting create a private, scenic stay close to Boundary Waters country.
The property lists one- through four-bedroom housekeeping cabins along with fishing boats, motors, canoes and pontoon rentals. Several beach areas, a private landing and a lakeside sauna reinforce the focus on quiet water and independent outdoor time.
Review the current accommodation descriptions carefully, because layouts, occupancy limits and included supplies vary. Reserve the stay directly with Tamarack Resort.

Burntside Lake is immediately available through the resort’s landing, with several types of watercraft advertised for rent. Reserve equipment and confirm docks, fuel and trailer arrangements.

Discuss the Ely Distance Before Scheduling a Guided Day
Burntside Lake is well east of the waters Zup’s most regularly covers. The setting can be an excellent fit for an Ely vacation, but distance, date and the location of the best current fishing opportunity determine whether a separate Zup’s trip is practical.
The closest launch is not always the best starting point. Wind, water temperature, seasonal fish movement and the experience of the anglers can make another access more practical.
Contact us with the exact stay dates and property location before booking a guided day. We will confirm whether a reasonable lake and meeting plan is available from the Ely area.
Stay at Tamarack Resort and Let Zup’s Plan the Fishing
A reservation at Tamarack Resort gives your group a base near Burntside Lake. A separately booked day with Zup’s adds a private fishing plan shaped around your anglers and the conditions expected for your date.
Send us the lodging dates, number of anglers, experience level, target species and any mobility or travel considerations. We provide quality rods, reels, bait and tackle, explain the presentation and adjust the plan as weather and fish movement change.
Tamarack Resort and Zup’s Guide Service are independent businesses. Reserve the stay directly with the property and the guided trip directly with us. Once both are scheduled, we will confirm the most practical lake, launch, meeting place and start time.
