Boat Rentals

Gunflint Lake is a perfect lake to rent a boat and motor and go exploring. There are
waterfalls that can be hiked up to, islands to stop at for a lunch break, sandy beaches to play at, and of course there are many fishing holes waiting to be found. Gunflint Lake is also an entry point to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and day trips often start from Gunflint Lake.

Adventure Guides
When Justine Kerfoot first started exploring the woods and waters of this area she usually had a Native American guide along to teach her essential outdoor skills. Our Adventure Guides will join you as your private Northwoods guide. They can take you on day trips into the Boundary Waters, on hikes into remote regions, or boating and exploring Gunflint Lake and the waterfalls in the area. Our Adventure Guides will explain some of local area history, wildlife, basic outdoor skills, and much of the boreal forest on your customized trip.

Therapeutic Massage

There’s nothing like a massage to let you completely relax and unwind, and with our massage therapist, you can have a massage while you’re here on vacation. Book a half or full-hour massage, and let our professional massage therapist soothe away your stress. (Great for muscles that get a little over-extended, too, just in case you’ve pursued any recreation a little too enthusiastically!) Using techniques of Swedish massage, our professional massage therapist offers just the right touch — relaxing, soothing and energizing. Massage is available by reservation; we encourage you to book your appointment in advance.

Opportunities will range from informational kennel tours to half-day dog sledding experiences. Reservations are a must - feel free to call ahead to reserve your space so you don't miss out!

Horseback Riding

Welcome to the Gunflint Stables from our Lead Horses:

Pretty Boy Floyd, Sundance, and Sis

Why hike when you can sit back, enjoy the scenery, and ride a horse?
Enjoy peaceful guided trail rides through the Superior National Forest

Let our 18 horses help you explore the Superior National Forest from a unique view. Our experienced Wranglers will guide you through the vast miles of trails on steady steeds. Whether you enjoy a scenic ride or a full day adventure, you will be able to capture the essence of a changing forest. Traveling on horseback lets you enjoy the endless beauty while relaxing and basking in the sun on your faithful mount.

A hat, long pants, and closed toed shoes are ideal for comfortable riding.

Our horses summer at Gunflint Lodge and vacation during the winter in Pine River, MN. The season generally runs from May to October, 7 days a week. During the horses’ 6 months vacation, they lack contact with people. Surprising enough, it only takes about 2-5 days for them to readjust to summer work. Many of our 4- legged friends have been with us for over 8 years. Obviously, we do acquire new horses as others move on to retirement. Each year is filled with training and new friendships.  We have a wide variety of horses that range from Quarter Horses to Arabians and everything in between. If you’re a beginner or experienced, we have the horse for you. Our talented wranglers are great at teaming you up with a horse that fits your needs. The many hours spent on the trails together creates a deep bond between wrangler and horse. We invite you to join us for a ride and bond with a horse of your own as you enjoy the marvels that await you around each corner of our beautiful trails. Prices vary depending on the ride. We offer one hour, two hour, breakfast, dinner, and half day lunch rides. Please contact us for questions regarding price and availability.
