Knife River, Minnesota
Lodging is available across the road at Island View Resort with special workshop rates. 218-834-5886. I can not say enough about how great this place is. Besides clean, warm and calming the surroundings are extra beautiful come winter with the tall pines. Bobby and Sherri are exceptional hosts with lots of local information and tips. Winter offers cross country skiing in many nearby locations. Playing with Yarn is
an incredible place for fiber enthusiasts and workshops are offered.Some businesses close for winter but Mocha Moose or the Light House are restaurants with great food. Also: Brad Nelson Jewelry, Dale Burton Forge, Knife River Beach will be open. Deanna Ellestad leads yoga at the Knife River Lutheran Church on Monday mornings and evenings.
