The loons have made their way back now that the ice is gone. It’s amazing how they seem to know when to return. Even tho’ our ice out was almost a month early, within a few days they were there. Their call is such beautiful music after a long winter.

Wood ducks sit along the resort edge every morning also.

ICE OUT!

On March 31, 2010, the ice went out on West Fox Lake. The locals tell us this is the earliest ice out date ever. We celebrated that evening with a paddleboat ride on a lake like a piece of glass. Spring is here.

First of all, welcome to our new website! We are excited to offer you a new blog and some updated pictures. Thanks for stopping by! Now on to the why you’re here.. The Library!

This is the Lakeside Library! Stop in on a Rainy Day for a Good Book.

As you can see the Library is right next to West Fox lake. We have nine cabins and a deluxe vacation property as well. There is plenty to do for everyone at Edgewild. We have a shuffleboard area, horseshoes, a nice beach, plenty of hiking trails set in a peacful, quiet, and secluded part of Minnesota. We are located on pristine, natural lakeshore surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. This is what makes Edgewild such a wonderful resort.

You may be closer to the golf courses at the larger resorts, but what you don’t have is peace and quiet and a sense of privacy. At Edgewild you are the VIP and have total access to our facilities and West Fox Lake. Our prices are reasonable and our staff is friendly.

New Jump Record of 301 Feet

Slednecks Snowmobile Rider Shatters His Previous Record with Jump at Brainerd, MN

Paul Thacker, a professional snowmobile jumper set the record for longest snowmobile jump in Brainerd, Minnesota. This was the longest snowmobile jump ever! The initial jump, which was held at Brainerd International Raceway was scheduled for Monday, due to conditions he jumped today. His longest distance was 301′.

On March 26, Thacker and his Polaris 600 IQ® flew through the air, a distance of 301 feet, a new world record for snowmobile distance jumping. He accomplished the feat at the Brainerd, Minnesota at Brainerd International Raceway.

Thacker was traveling at 87 mph on his take off. “When I was in the air I just knew it was perfect. Flew over 301 feet. With the amplitude and the way I landed, I knew we got to where we wanted to be. I was already screaming in my helmet on the down run.”

Thacker’s previous snowmobile distance jump record was 271 feet, which he set on February 17, 2008, in Shakopee, Minnesota, or Canteburry Downs. Thacker and his fellow Monster rider Ryan Capes are the two athletes to break the 300′ mark. Capes accomplished the feat on a motorcycle and recently he set the new long distance jump on a motorcycle at 390′ and a new height record of 78′.
