This property immediately brings you back to the good old days—when duck camp really was duck camp. Located on the legendary Shell Lake, known far and wide for its exceptional duck hunting, this nostalgic camp sits on approximately 11.5 acres and offers the kind of experience that’s getting harder to find. The moment I stepped into the rustic cabin, I was flooded with memories of hunting Shell Lake as a kid—how good it was back then, and how good it still is today. The cabin is everything a duck camp should be—simple, comfortable, and built for good times with great company. It has electricity and plenty of space for your hunting buddies to kick back and relax, maybe even sip a drink by the fire after a day in the blind. Shell Lake isn’t just for ducks either. It’s known for quality fishing, and while it can occasionally freeze out, the presence of both an inlet and outlet allows the fishery to bounce back quickly. I personally know of several walleyes over 28" that have come out of this lake. Beyond waterfowl, this property offers opportunities for deer and bear hunting as well. North of the cabin, you’ll find a stretch of dense tamarack with a small opening—and if you look at the drone images, you’ll see a well-worn deer trail cutting through the woods. And if that’s not enough, you're surrounded by vast tracts of public land just waiting to be explored. Whether you're chasing ducks, deer, bears, or just want a place to fish and enjoy the outdoors, this is the kind of base camp that checks all the boxes. If you’re looking for a place that blends tradition, adventure, and a little peace and quiet—this is one you’ll want to consider. *Located on famed Shell Lake, renowned for top-tier duck hunting *Nostalgic rustic cabin with power and room to host friends and family *11.5± acres offering privacy *Excellent deer and bear hunting *Land has been surveyed *Multi-species fishery including walleye, northern pike, crappie, bass, and more *Lake features both an inlet and outlet *Shell River outlet flows east, connecting to the Mississippi River watershed *Public land nearby provides endless hunting opportunities just minutes away *The perfect base camp for fall hunts, summer fishing trips, and lakeside relaxation
