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.

It still looks like winter!

Well it still looks and feels like winter.  It was just 10 degrees this morning and as I look out the window the lake is still frozen tight.  Last weekend the fishermen were reporting 30 plus inches of ice on the lake.  So it won't be opening anytime soon but spring will come and the ice will go away.

May brings the Ham Run Half Marathon on May 5th.  Each year it has increased in popularity with more and more participants.  It is a tough race for those of you who like to do such things.  It takes off from Gunflint Pines and ends up at the end of the Gunflint Trail.  Check it out.

Opening of fishing season is the 11th of May and with the conditions we have now the water will be cold.  The ice won't be off the lake much before that date.  The fish will be slow moving, not schooled up and in shallow water.  The best fishing may be a couple of weeks later.

We still have openings and special rates before Memorial Weekend.  Check us out.
