On the Water

Family in 2 canoes and 2 kayaks on lake

On the water, enjoy activities like boating, fishing, swimming, and canoeing. Canoes, kayaks, and standup paddle boards are included with your stay, and fishing boats and pontoons are available to explore Gunflint Lake, Magnetic Lake, and the surrounding shoreline.

Exploring the Wilderness

Explore the wilderness by hiking the myriad of trails along the Gunflint Trail, picking (and eating) wild blueberries, and keeping your eye peeled for wildlife, including moose, Canada lynx, and river otters. In addition to our loons and ducks in the water, you can see eagles, Pileated Woodpeckers, and spruce and ruffed grouse in the trees or in the skies. 

Experience History and Culture

A quick drive up the Trail to the Chik-Wauk Museum & Nature Center to learn more about the history of the Gunflint Trail or to the Grand Portage State Park and National Monument to experience Ojibwe culture and Voyageur history caps off the trip with a bit of cultural immersion. 

And do we even need to mention cozy evenings by the campfire, roasting marshmallows and stargazing under the clear night sky. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see the Northern Lights, but if not, on any clear night the Milky Way can take your breath away.

Memories Made to Last: Why Your Family Will Love It

Spacious and comfortable lake houses with amenities like fully equipped kitchens and outdoor entertaining areas for family gatherings mean you’ll have plenty of space to share quality time together. And getting away (really away) from it all gives you the perfect opportunity for a digital detox–destress and unwind in the peaceful natural environment. 

The unique experiences you share and the cherished memories your family will create during your stay at Gunflint Lodge will create lasting bonds and may even become a family tradition.
