MEALS
Packages with meals start on your night of arrival and continue to morning of departure. Your choice of entrée from the evening dinner menu…Breakfast either buffet style or order from the menu pending total number of people scheduled… And lunch each day is your choice of cold sandwich style or traditional walleye shore lunch.
PRICES
All packages are based on a per person rate. Sales and lodging tax totals are also included. A group with less than six can expect additional people on the boat. Or your group can request a “No-Fill”, and pay $180.00 per empty slot to reserve the charter for your private party.
TAKE A KID FISHING
As parents we want to do the right thing. We want to connect with our kids…
And have a positive impact on their future. That’s why Ballard’s Resort wants to work with you. We know that kids won’t be kids forever. And introducing your son or daughter to the outdoors is something that doesn’t take a lot of time or money.
A fishing adventure on Lake of the Woods can teach patience, respect, and value. It’s a shared tradition that mixes fun and fishing. For the Summer of 2025 Ballard’s Resort will be offering its regular fishing packages at a 20% off rate for kids 12 and under.
Call for details. Your “parent of the year” award is waiting.

FUEL SURCHARGE
The total price of a Guided Walleye Fishing Package is based on the price of gas at the time our 2025 Summer Rates were set. If the average cost of gas exceeds this amount by 15% or more, a fuel surcharge may be invoked. Due to the volatile price of gas please plan accordingly for this possibility.
ADVANCE DEPOSIT
An advance deposit of $300 per person is required. Deposits are non-refundable. Guest is responsible for complete reservations made in advance.
AIRLINE TRAVEL
For fastest service, travel arrangements made with Delta Airlines can be booked directly to International Falls, MN or Bemidji, MN. Rental service and chauffeur service is available from both locations.
