Getting to Pineridge
The Pineridge Resort sits on the south shore of Deer Lake, about 12 miles north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota — deep in the Northwoods but easy to reach.
From the Twin Cities, plan on roughly 3 hours and 30 minutes (about 200 miles). The Grand Rapids/Itasca County Airport is 20 minutes away, and the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport is the nearest major airport.
