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.

Beargrease Cancelled

For only the second time in its 30 year history the John Beargrease Sled Dog Race has been cancelled.  The winter has been very mild to this point and there just wasn't enough snow on the trails to have a safe race for the dogs and the drivers. 

The race runs almost 500 miles from Duluth to just past Gunflint Lake and back.  It is the longest race in the lower 48 states and has been well attended by the top teams in the country.  So if that is your thing you will have to wait another year.
