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.

Northwoods Spring

Just when you thought it was safe to put the skis away winter returns!  South of us they have been getting lots of snow.  Today, and it looks like all of next week, we are getting the colder temps.  Right now it is about 15 degrees but tonight they are predicting 8 to 10 below zero.  Now that is not nice!  A few weeks ago ok but not after we have been teased with some nice 45 degree days.  Of course the reality of life is this is normal.  Every spring we have these ups and downs with the temps and the snow fall but we tend to forget from year to year or at least I do.  Maybe it is my age.  Who knows. 

The pine martins have been regulars at the bird feeder as of late.  This one cleaned out the sunflowers seeds yesterday.  They don't seem to have much fear of us.  They just turn around an look at you when you start to approach them but if you get too close they take off. 

We are booked for the Ham Lake Run but still have space for the Green Up weekend and some availability for Memorial weekend.  Great spring rates so check us out.
