Dare to Spend Friday the 13th at the End of the Trail?
There’s something different about the Northwoods in November.
The summer crowds are gone. The leaves have fallen. Darkness arrives early, and the wilderness grows quiet. On Friday the 13th, that solitude becomes the perfect setting for a weekend of mystery, folklore, and Northwoods adventure.
Join us at historic Gunflint Lodge for a unique Friday the 13th getaway featuring haunted tales, spooky activities, themed dining, and unforgettable nights beneath some of the darkest skies in Minnesota.
Whether you’re superstitious or just “a little stitious” in the words of Michael Scott, or you’re simply looking for a memorable fall getaway, this all-inclusive Northwoods experience is the perfect excuse to embrace the eerie side of the season.
Northwoods Legends & Lore
For generations, travelers along the Gunflint Trail have shared stories of mysterious encounters, unexplained happenings, and legendary Northwoods characters.
During Friday the 13th Weekend, gather around the campfire as we explore tales including:
- The Ghost of Justine – Is the legendary lodge owner still keeping watch over Gunflint Lake?
- The Legend of Ten Fingers – A haunting tale passed down through generations of Trail residents.
- Other local stories, folklore, and wilderness mysteries from Minnesota’s Northwoods.
The truth? You’ll have to join us around the fire to decide for yourself.
