Where to start. The people, are amazing. From the owners to the bar tenders to the plow drivers just absolutely amazing, we see you! They definitely take care of you and make you feel welcome. We come every ice season and practically live in our fish house so we now have the privilege to call them friends. Let’s see, oh the merch!!!! Always cozy comfy clothes I swear I have 10 new shirts n hats 😉. The bars super cozy and have a fireplace my favorite! Please do yourself a favor and give them your business you can thank me later.

Our annual ice fishing trip for 2026 landed us at Highbanks which was a first for us. Arrived to a very well run resort who accommodated our needs and requests along with an early check in allowing us to get out on the water and fish. Fishing was a little slow the 1st day and resort staff were quick to move our day shacks to better areas resulting in some fast action perch bites. Cabin was very clean and inviting with plenty of space to accommodate our group in one room for meals and card games. Day shacks were warm and comfy making the experience a great memory. Ice road staff were quick to be aware of a new crack and had in bridge in place in no time ensuring the safety of their guests. Definitely recommend Highbanks and I will be back here again, maybe in the boat next.

Evan, Tali and the whole crew always make the trip one to remember! Great service! All the amenities! Gas, propane, full bar and great food! If you ever have issues they don’t hesitate to get you taken care of! Great people and our favorite place to fish!

I unfortunately got stuck on the ice yesterday. I thought I was screwed! I called Even and he was pulling me out in 20 minutes! I offered him money and he would except (so I bought some hoodies instead) Nice people and wonderful staff! I'm staying here in the summer/spring!
