The Dronecks Invade Loon Lake Lodge!!!
7:22 PM
The Droneck family started the annual family reunion this week at Loon Lake Lodge. Grandpa Stan and Grandma Edie started coming to the Lodge a number of years ago and then 3 years back they decided to try a large family gathering. It isn't easy to get a big family to agree to the same week or the same location for a family reunion. As you can see from the pictures things have worked out just fine.
Thinking of a family reunion? You need to plan ahead with us and your family. Give us a call, check out our web site and start talking to your family.

Fishing Licenses in Trouble!!!
9:44 AM
No Fishing License Sales if Minnesota State Government Shuts Down! If state government shuts down at the end of next week, fishing licenses will not be available for purchase from the DNR beginning July 1. No manual alternate system for issuing licenses will be in place. So if you are coming to Loon Lake or any other resort in Minnesota in the near future you should buy your fishing licenses now. You can go to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources web site and you can buy them on-line or call their 800 number and get one over the phone.
Just in case you are wondering -- game wardens will be working!

The Fishing Season Begins
1:23 PM
We have our first fishing type people in camp. The early reports are the northerns are biting the best! Lake trout have been harder to come by but some are being caught. No sign of bass or walleye. The water is cold with the ice just having gone out on Tuesday and Wednesday. Surface water temps on the main lake were at 37 degrees. So the fish aren't too active in the main part of the lake. The bay is warmer and thus we have seen most fishing done close to the Lodge.

Kathy caught this nice trout and along with her husband Tom they landed a number of northerns. Fishing should improve over the next couple of weeks. As the water warms the fish will become more active and more likly to take your bait.
Remember we are still running our Spring specials until June 5th and other than Memorial Weekend there are still openings. Check us out on the web or give us a call - 1-800-552-6351.

New Beach?
7:03 AM
Now back to reality. The shot below was taken about 10 minutes ago from our deck looking down towards the Lodge. We really don't need any more snow this time of the year. Terry and I have been busy cleaning cabins since our return from vacation and new snow just makes it harder.

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!

Gunflint Green Up
2:51 PM
May 6-7, 2011 will be the 4th annual Gunflint Green Up. If you have
read our blog in the past you know we think it is a great event. Justabout everyone who works or lives on the Gunflint Trail participates.
Plus hundreds of friends of the Gunflint Trail have over the years
have also been involved. This may be the last or almost certainly the
last of this type of tree planting party involving the entire area.
Check out the Green Up web site for additional information and
registration forms. Then if you are looking for a cabin check our
our site and see if we have an opening. We are offering a special
that weekend of $99/nt for up to 4 people.
Great cabin, great cause leads to a great weekend.
Northwoods Spring
9:36 AM
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.

Redpolls
9:29 AM
We are getting some rain today and the skiing is going to be tough from this point on. The lake has some puddled water but it will freeze again so you will be able to fish for awhile longer but the signs of spring are clear.
