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.

Redpolls

The redpolls have taken over the bird feeders!  We still have nuthatchs and chickadees but the redpolls have arrived in great numbers.  A few of them will sit in the feeder and throw sunflower seeds out onto the ground.  Then there must be 20 to 30 of them sitting on the ground waiting to be feed.  When you walk outside they all take off and the trees are alive with chirping birds.

We are getting some rain today and the skiing is going to be tough from this point on.  The lake has some puddled water but it will freeze again so you will be able to fish for awhile longer but the signs of spring are clear.
