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.

Mild Winter

Well here it is almost the middle of January and we haven't had much for winter weather.  Snow has been limited to about 8 inches on the ground.  The trail system still has some rocks and stumps you have to watch out for and only the smaller lakes are safe for travel.  We have about 12 inches of ice on the bay but I wouldn't go out to the main lake at this point.  Gunflint Lake had open water just last week.

Terry has been able to get out skiing just about everyday.  She and our neighbor Sue go on the bay and then take the trail back to Crab Lake.  Some of the neighbors are also fishing on Crab.  So far they have been catching some nice northerns. 

So let's all hope for some real winter weather soon.
