Putting your boat in the lake
All boats must be inspected by resort management prior to putting your boat in the water. Be prepared to show proof that you have had your boat out of the water for at least 5 days or you have gone through proper decontamination practices. No boats entering other lakes may re-enter Kabekona without proof of decontamination during your same stay. Please note - during busy times appointments may be needed in advance to decontaminate your boat with Hubbard County. Let’s keep Kabekona clean and special!
Campfires
ABSOLUTELY no outside firewood is allowed - this is very important for the health of our forest. New in 2023 - we have a oak firewood available for guests to purchase at a reasonable cost. We have two fire rings available for guest use on the property at this time between 8am-10:30pm. Campfires must be attended at all times and fully extinguished upon completion. No fires outside of fire rings are permitted.
BBQ Grills
Each cabin has a Weber Charcoal grill. Casa Kona has a gas grill. Please bring charcoal / lighter fluid as needed. Grills can only be used for charcoal grilling - no campfires, etc. BBQ grills must be used 10 feet away from cabins and dense vegetation at all times.
Safe enjoyment of the lake
There is NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY at any time. Swim at your own risk. Please use plastic cups / aluminum cans on beach to avoid breakage issues. Please be courteous on the lake to our neighbors and friends of the resort. Keep in mind MN boating regulations and that it is against the law to operate watercraft so that its wash or wake endangers, harasses or interferes with any person or property.
Water recreation
Free use of canoes, kayaks, SUPS, and paddleboat are on a first come, first use basis. Minnesota state law requires that life jackets must be worn. For the courtesy of others guests, please return these items to where they belong when you have finished using them and limit use to two hours at a time so all can enjoy. Children under 10 are required to wear a life jacket per MN regulations.
