PLUS, with the money you save on gas you'll be able to take in a movie, enjoy one or more of our area's family attractions including horseback riding, golfing (mini-golf and standard golf), go-cart & water park activities, or visit any number of shops, restaurants, and day trip destinations!

Whether you dream of a vacation full of sport & activity, or one of restful relaxation, RIVERSIDE RESORT is your passport to cherished vacation memories. Riverside Resort has an unparalleled history of being one of the oldest family-owned family-oriented resorts in all of Minnesota.

As part of this personalized service, guests at Riverside Resort are privileged to enjoy Sunday gospel singers and performers, scheduled volleyball games, resort picnics, marshmallow roasts, weekly coloring contests, and visits from Riverside Rabbit, the life-size resort mascot. Near the wooded area Riverside Rabbit calls home, guests will also find campground facilities, a safe, sandy swimming beach with a waterslide, a basketball court, a game room, horseshoes, a volleyball court, a large playground area, complimentary high speed internet access, and a great variety of fishing on the Horseshoe Chain of Lakes.

One unique perk we offer is that guests staying at Riverside Resort are privileged to use facilities at our Riverside Inn (hotel) facility in Cold Spring (7 miles from resort and accessible "by land or sea" - aka car or boat!) which gives swimming beach, swimming pool, whirlpool, and sauna access to all resort guests!
