Thunderbird Lodge: Your Up North Escape for Fall Colors, Fishing & Bonfires

Thunderbird Lodge is a year-round Northwoods lake retreat where generations gather, reconnect, and unwind.

Lakefront Lodge Retreat on Beautiful Lake Bobidosh

Wake up to panoramic lake views, spend your days swimming at the sandy beach, fishing from the dock, cruising by pontoon, or relaxing in a hammock beneath towering Northwoods pines. At Thunderbird Lodge at Thunderbird Point, generations of families, friends, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts have gathered to reconnect, slow down, and create lasting memories on the lake.

Many guests return year after year to continue family traditions started generations ago at Thunderbird Point.

This year-round retreat in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin offers elevated lake views, clear Northwoods waters, abundant wildlife, and authentic Northwoods hospitality that has welcomed guests for decades.

Originally established as a classic family summer resort in the 1940s, Thunderbird Point continues its tradition of welcoming guests seeking authentic lake experiences in every season — from summer beach vacations and fishing trips to fall colors, snowmobile weekends, family reunions, romantic escapes, and peaceful retreats surrounded by nature.

We respectfully acknowledge that Lake Bobidosh and the surrounding area are part of the ancestral and contemporary homelands of the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) people and remain within the sovereign Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reservation community. We are grateful to share this beautiful place and recognize its cultural, spiritual, and historical significance to the Ojibwe people, who have cared for these lands and waters for generations.
