Lodging and Accomodations
Whitefish Chain has a large selection of resorts with cabins and a few hotels in the Cross Lake Area.
There is not a large resort to utilize as our host site like we have the past few years, but the Whitefish Chain is an excellent challenging fishery to host our tournament.
Our tournament headquarters will be Camp Foley on the North shoreline of Lower Whitefish Lake. They are a youth summer camp that has great location to utilize as a launch and weigh in site. They do NOT have overnight accommodations unfortunately.
