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.

Beargrease Race is On!

The dogs have left Duluth on their way to the Gunflint Trail.  The John Beargrease sled dog race is the longest in the lower 48 states.  The teams left Duluth starting at 1:00 pm today and they will reach us sometime very early Tuesday.  Terry and I will be working a road crossing making sure the mushers can cross the Gunflint Trail safely. 

The trail is in very good condition with some fresh snow and the temps shouldn't be a problem.  We are expecting lows in the teens below 0 and highs in the teens above 0.  It may sound cold for you but the dogs like cooler weather.
