Drive-Up Boat Storage Near Itasca County Lakes
Itasca County is home to hundreds of lakes — from Pokegama Lake and Big Sandy Lake near Grand Rapids to smaller fishing lakes throughout the area. If you keep a fishing boat, pontoon, or personal watercraft in the area year-round, Balsam Self Storage offers affordable drive-up storage in Bovey just off US-169 / Scenic Hwy.
Our largest unit — the 10×45 — provides 450 square feet of drive-up space for $195 per month. It fits most fishing boats and smaller pontoons on a standard trailer. You pull straight in, unhitch, and you're done. No loading dock, no elevator, no shared aisles with tight turns.
Unit Size and Pricing
| Size | Sq Ft | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10′ × 45′ | 450 sq ft | $195/mo | Fishing boats, pontoons, personal watercraft on trailer |
All rentals are month-to-month. Store your boat for the off-season from November through April, or keep it here year-round if you prefer not to tow from home. Call us at (218) 910-1543 to confirm current availability before reserving.
What Fits in the 10×45 Unit?
The 10×45 unit is 10 feet wide and 45 feet long with a drive-up garage door. Most fishing boats on a standard single-axle trailer fit comfortably with room to spare for gear. Pontoon boats with the furniture removed and the canopy down typically fit in the 25–32 foot range. Personal watercraft on a trailer are even easier.
If your boat and trailer combined length exceeds 40 feet, or if your boat is wider than 8.5 feet with the motor, call us before reserving so we can confirm it will work for your setup.
Is Boat Storage Heated?
Our units are drive-up self storage — not heated or climate-controlled. Interior temperature follows outdoor conditions, similar to a detached garage or pole barn. This is the standard for off-season boat storage in Minnesota and is appropriate for fiberglass, aluminum, and most modern boat materials. We recommend draining the motor, the bilge, and any water lines before storing for winter, as you would with any unheated structure.

Frequently Asked Questions — Boat Storage
What size unit do I need for a boat?
Our 10×45 unit fits most fishing boats and smaller pontoons on a trailer. If your combined boat-and-trailer length is under 40 feet and under 10 feet wide, you are in good shape. Call us at (218) 910-1543 with your boat dimensions and we can confirm.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. All rentals are month-to-month. You can rent for just the winter months and move out in the spring when you are ready to put your boat back in the water.
How do I reserve a unit?
You can reserve online through our rental portal or call us at (218) 910-1543. We recommend calling first to confirm a 10×45 unit is available, as we have limited large units.
