Hunting

Located in a valley between two rivers, the area is a Mecca for hunters.  Small game, pheasants, ducks, geese and deer abound.  For a rewarding hunting experience try RiverRidge Gun Club, a private reserve with over 1,000 acres to provide 14 different hunting areas.  For more information call 502-359-5770.

Fishing

The Sleepy Eye area has good fishing in Sleepy Eye Lake, just a short walk from the Inn, and in nearby lakes such as Clear Lake, Lake Hanska, Swan Lake and many others.  In addition, one of Minnesota's most diverse fishing opportunities is the Minnesota River, which produces large numbers of catfish and trophy walleyes.
