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.

Great Day for a Walk

2:26 PM
It is the time of year when you can walk anywhere!  There is a hard crust on top of everything from the lake to the woods.  Terry and I started at the Lodge and walked on the lake around to the Crab Lake portage.  Just like walking on pavement.  We didn't see any sign of animals -- no deer, wolves or moose. 

I thought the portage would be more of a challenge but it turned out to be easy.  A snowmobile had been over the trail so it was packed and crusty just like everything else.  Once we hit Crab we headed down towards the narrows but decided to cut through the woods and hit the trail back towards Loon Lake.  I climbed up to the top of the cliffs on the south side of Crab and was able to get some nice pictures overlooking Crab back towards Loon.

There will be only a few days like this.  So if your in the area this weekend you are in luck.  Enjoy your hike!
