Fall and our Indian Summer

This is one of the favorite times of the year for those of us living in the northwoods. Many days we have clear skies, soft winds, evening northern lights, calling loons and wolves howling at night. The leaves are turning colors so we have golden hillsides filled with aspen, mixed in with our deep green colors from the pines, balsams and spruce. Just a splash of red occurs here and there from our moose maple. The ducks are migrating through and our seasonal birds are feasting up for their long journey south in coming weeks.

Among the fairly new features of our community to enjoy are the Centennial hiking trail and the Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center. The Centennial trail is nearby and offers beautiful overlooks from some of the bluffs just west of us. The museum includes a history of the native Americans, Voyageurs, prospectors, loggers, pioneers and summer residents. Custom made videos capture the stories of 20 of the original pioneer families, plus the original resorts. To go with the museum, there are a series of walking trails featuring wild flowers, native birds, moose viewing, etc. This is a great activity for a windy or rainy day.

Fishing should be steady in the coming weeks for smallmouth bass, walleye and lake trout. The trout season closes September 25th.

There is still time to head north for a late season visit to the northwoods--some of our theme weekends are extra reasons to tease you north. As a reminder, our information and reservation number is: 1-800-328-3325.

For those times when you feel like curling up and enjoying a cozy cabin, we encourage you to enjoy our unique and well-appointed cabins including hot tubs, fireplaces, saunas, dishwashers, and even a washer and dryer in your cabin. If having wildlife outside your window sounds exciting, come on down to the lodge and pick up some corn and birdseed for you to stock the feeders directly outside your living room window. If bringing your pet would complete your home in the woods experience, no worries, pets are welcome here to Gunflint Lodge so you can all enjoy your vacation together.

We invite you to relax in our 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 wildlife and panoramic beauty. That such an area as this even exists in a time of urban sprawl and expanding suburbs is hard to imagine, but it does and words alone cannot do it justice. The best way to understand this area is by experiencing it first hand. We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home.  It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.
