November News from WIBR
This was your last view of White Iron Beach if you visited us this year. We hope to see you coming down the road soon. The resort is put to bed for another summer season. The docks are all rolled up and the water lines blown out. The three weeks we were open in October […]
October News from WIBR
What an awesome September. Virtually the entire month was nice. A bit chilly in the evening the last few days but sunny all day. We seemed to have a few more guests than normal this past month. Nice forecasts will do that. The first annual Ely Marathon held on the 25th and 26th did draw […]
September News From White Iron Beach
The great weather and a full resort continued through the first three weeks of August. As with most years the early school starts and fall sports curtailed many family vacations. We did have some very unusual weather toward the end of the month. We went from 95 degrees on one Saturday to a high of […]
August News from White Iron Beach
Did July fly by with the blink of an eye or what. Things have really been rolling around town and at the resort this past month.

July News from White Iron Beach
We have had a great start to the summer. Pretty warm temps and a decent amount of sun too. It is hard to believe it will be the 4th of July in just three days. The summers seem to fly by quicker each year. Speaking of the 4th, the biggest small town parade in the […]

March 2015
This past month was pretty uneventful. Did a couple of sport shows and basically tried to stay warm. The snow came in small doses but it has added up to make pretty good trail riding on the sleds and very good trails for the skiers. The bitter cold many days curtailed some activity as did […]
February News from White Iron Beach
January was a pretty quite month for us and the area too. We are very glad this year has been milder temperature wise but we really wish we had a foot more snow. The lakes are great for sledding, skiing and ice fishing but the trails are a bit sparse of snow. We are expecting […]
