Things That Make Our MN Resort a Great Northwoods Lake Experience:

Quality Cabins & Cleanliness – We give ourselves plenty of time to clean and make any necessary repairs be tween guests due largely to our weekly check-in after 9am on Saturday and check out the following Friday before 10am. As owners of Shing Wako Resort we believe in being good resources managers.
Reunions – We offer a wide range of lake cabins and price points to help you in planning your family or other Reunion with us!
The Perfect Size Lake – Lake Edward is over 2000 acres with a 100% sand shore – large enough for water sports, but more peaceful than a chain of lakes. Fish for walleye, northern pike, bass and more! We have boats available to rent and Responsible jet skiing is allowed.
Flexible Reservations in the Summer – Book your “week” checking in after 9 am on Saturday and checking out the following Friday before 11 am, or book a “mini vacation” – Fri-Mon for 3 nights or Mon-Fri for 4 nights. See our cabins page for more details.
Gradual Sandy Beach & Clear Water – Our beach area has a very gradual sand slope with clear water; ideal for swimming, building sand castles or just relaxing in the sun.
Quiet Family Resort – We are sensitive to the relaxation of others by observing a quieter time after 10 pm. Try Bird Watching.
Your Own Fire Ring – Each cabin has it’s own fire ring nearby for your enjoyment.
Centrally Located in the Brainerd Lakes Area – We are on the “quiet” side of Brainerd, well off of Hwy 371. Click here for an extensive list of Day Trips from our resort.
