Gunflint is waiting to welcome you We are ready for you-- to wet a line for some nice lake trout or walleye, to do some hiking or canoeing, go horseback riding or take a ride on our canopy tour. The mallards, loons and eagles have returned, while our deer have left us to have their fawns and spend their summer in the forest, now that they have plenty of eat again.
Everyone is asking about when the ice will be going out. As of the morning of May 14th the west end of the lake is open and the ice has turned black. We will have some fishing this coming weekend, and shortly after that the entire lake should be ice free. We still have some vacancies over Memorial Day Weekend if you have the itch to head north. Our Towering Pines Canopy Tour is open daily for the entire summer. We have some nice spring fishing packages in May and early June. All our fishing guides will be returning--Dennis, Jon and Adam. The staff is busy putting the finishing touches on our newest cabin--the Pow Wow Lodge (5 bedrooms, 3 baths, sauna, washer/dryer, gourmet kitchen, big living room with a huge rock fireplace, game room, patio/rock garden, and a lake porch).

We are vacation club members, and we have experienced many resorts. Perhaps the most memorable qualities of this resort is the friendly atmosphere and delightful setting on the Gunflint Trail. This resort offers the adventure of a Canadian wilderness fishing experience without the hassle of crossing the border, or the added expense of licenses and passports. We were able to catch beautiful Lake Trout and Northern Pike in the 3- 15 pound range less than a mile from our lake home. The owners and staff are more than wiling to share information with you about where to go and how to rig to catch these beauties. This resort also offers top notch entertainment. They have on-site Naturalists who guide various activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, dogsledding, candlemaking, and many other educational craft opportunities for the whole family. The girls in our family were pleasantly surprised by the immense quality of this resort in every aspect. We enjoyed a hotub, sauna, and woodburning stove in our lake home. Also, the gourmet food served at the lodge is a real treat! Breakfast is included with your cabin, where you order off of the menu from many tantalizing food options. The chef will make certain that you are well fed before begining your day in this very affordable, beautiful wilderness resort of the North Minnesota Woods! |
Sue and I invite you to relax in one of our lakeside fireplace cabins, feast in our dining rooms, and play in our outdoors. A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with deer, moose, eagles, beaver, and much more. Our northwoods, just 6 hours north of the Twin Cities, continues to exist in a time of urban sprawl and expanding suburbs. Words alone cannot do it justice and the only way to understand the Gunflint area is by experiencing it first hand. Here at Gunflint moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors.

A new item of the spring that might interest you: Lee and Eva, our son and daughter-in-law, are opening a new canopy tour just west of the Twin Cities this spring. It is called Kerfoot's Canopy Tour and is out along the Minnesota River Scenic Byway (out toward Belle Plaine). You could experience their canopy tour and then come north for our Towering Pines Canopy Tour. |
