Twin Port Resort

Twin Port resort was located on the southeast side of Leech Lake near Brevik.  I don't remember much about it, as it closed when I was young.   There are private cabins on it now and it is run as an association.

There were three different things that I remember about Twin Port that made it distinctive.  Of course, it had two harbors.  Thus the name Twin Port.  Also, it had a little store that if I remember right, was on the point near the harbor.  I can't remember for sure as it has been closed for a long time.  The last thing that I remember was it had a silver quonset hut that was rented out as a cabin.  It is still there.

I haven't been down there for quite some time now, but last time I was there, the old Twin Port mailbox was still there.  That is quite a thing as it has been closed since the 70's or 80's least I believe.  I could be wrong about that.

I would love to hear more about Twin Port.  Anyone out there that stayed there or knows more about it?
