LOON LAKE LODGE

At Loon Lake Lodge you are surrounded by the unspoiled wilderness of the Minnesota north woods. The Gunflint Trail area, where we are located, has changed little over the years. It is much the same as it was over a hundred years ago. The calls of loons, the hoot of owls, the eerie howl of a wolf on a moonlit night and the breeze whispering through the trees will take you back to a much simpler and less hurried time.

Crab Lake Trail/Bridal Falls Trail

Good news for our hikers.  The Conservation Corps has cleared the trail to Crab Lake and around Crab to Bridal Falls. The trail to Crab hasn't been too bad but it was cleaned up and the grass was mowed.   It hasn't been possible to get to the Falls from Loon Lake since the fire in 2007.  That area around Crab Lake was burned and when summer came brush and raspberries took over the area and it was impossible to even find the trail from the end of the Lake to the Falls.  Terry and I walked part of the trail today and it is very easy to follow even better than before. 

Big  lake trout are still being caught on Loon.  Joanne Johnson caught this 16 pounder just last week.  Very nice.
