About Breezy Point
Breezy Point grew up around Breezy Point Resort, on the water of Pelican Lake where it meets the Whitefish Chain, and the whole town still runs on resort time. It is a planned, resort-anchored community where golf, dining, and events are part of daily life, and where the lake is the center of gravity.
Pelican Lake, roughly 8,250 acres, gives the community a large, clear lake with sandy beaches and strong fishing, and the channels connect it to the Whitefish Chain and Big Trout Lake. For buyers, Breezy Point delivers a social, amenity-rich lake lifestyle with a real town behind it.
