Our rich tradition began as a vision over a half century ago. It was 1934 in Minnesota's lake country. At a time when the distant howling of the wolves would frequent the evening twilight. When towering stands of pines stood untouched as they had for centuries. And when the rugged and natural beauty of the northwoods, the crystalline lakes and the bountiful fishing attracted only the most adverturesome.

Lynn Boyd had the calling of the north. A calling that compelled him to not only live here, but to enhance its beauty and share it with those who were to follow. And follow they did. Initially, Lynn and Ceil Boyd provided lodging to those wanting to fish the abundant waters of Whitefish Lake. But as visitors began to discover that Boyd's was more than a fishing lodge, their numbers began to increase, as did the demand for lodging facilities. Families began to come, seeking not only exceptional fishing, but also a place to relax and vacation.

Year after year they return to enjoy the beauty of Whitefish Lake, and the friendly, hospitable family atmosphere that has long been the Boyd tradition.
