Updated Feb 22, 2026Ishkode Dispensary at 1420 Bois Forte Rd is Tower's cannabis destination, operated by the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa near Fortune Bay Resort Casino. Open 9 AM to 7 PM daily, it carries a recreational menu of flower, edibles, vapes, pre-rolls, and concentrates for adults 21+. As a tribal dispensary, it does not charge Minnesota's 15% cannabis excise tax or 6.875% state sales tax - roughly 22% savings compared to a state-licensed store.
Tower occupies a strategic position in northeastern Minnesota. It sits at the doorstep of Lake Vermilion, one of Minnesota's most spectacular lakes with more than 1,200 miles of shoreline and 365 islands. Summer weekends bring thousands of anglers, boaters, and cabin families to the lake, and Ishkode is the natural provisioning stop. For those venturing further north toward the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness - accessible via Ely (30 miles west) or Crane Lake - Tower is the last practical cannabis stop before entering wilderness where no retail services exist.
The Bois Forte Band's Fortune Bay Resort Casino draws significant regional traffic that supports the dispensary year-round. The Iron Range cities of Hibbing, Virginia, and Eveleth are all within an hour, giving Ishkode a larger regional customer base than Tower's 500-person population suggests. Winter visitors come for snowmobiling through the Arrowhead trail system and ice fishing on Lake Vermilion's famous walleye grounds.
