Moore's Lodge


The one right above was dated 1939






I received a note from JC about Moore's Lodge.  I can't believe that I haven't put up a posting for Moore's Lodge yet.  

Of course Moore's Lodge is a still running resort. I believe that the cabins are in a resortominium situation similar to Big Rock. They are owned but rented out for a certain proportion of the year.  

It's a beautiful resort and well kept.  Beautiful grounds and cabins on Agency Bay.  

Their website can be found at https://www.mooreslodge.com/  Check it out!  It is a beautiful place.

Here is JC's post he sent me.  He sounds like he has a lot of stories about life at Moore's Lodge in the 70's and maybe further.  Great stuff JC.  Thanks for posting. I hope to hear from you again.

Hi folks. I just got back home to Forest Lake from Leech Lake. Daughter has a cabin on Breezy Point and I was working in it. Neighbor told me about this so checking it out now. I see a post about Horseshoe Bay Resort. In 1973, my family and another moved all our belongings in U Haul trucks. Drove from Iowa to Horseshoe Bay Resort, which my folks and another family were at to purchase it. When we got there, the deal fell through. But we lucked out and they were able to buy Moores Lodge. This is where I spent high school years. I loved it!!! Made so many good friends over the summers. Great memories. And now my daughter has her own cabin, where my wife and I hope to visit often.
