Review of Gunflint Lodge

Gunflint is a magical getaway into the north woods...

Gunflint is a magical getaway into the north woods. My wife and I have come again and again to escape into the fresh air and water. The forest provides for flora and fauna of all kinds. Timberwolves howl, bald eagles soar, and lake loons play their music. Just out of sight you may spot a giant moose or careful lynx coming for a sip of the sweet lake water. Wild blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and thimbleberries grow abundant and ache to be picked and complete their cycle of life. And for us at the lodge, it s a life of choose your own adventure: hiking, horseback, zip line, boating or canoe. Where you will go is only limited by your imagination, but the path to get their is ready and willing. Visit the high cliffs for a view that never ends. Follow the gunflint trail for a few miles in either direction at dawn and your animal encounters may vary. Boat out to Bridal Falls for a secret wispy waterfall. Canoe the Boundary Waters (BWCA) during a day trip. There s no wrong way to live in the north woods. Just wild and free. Calm and relaxing. Fresh and curious. We ll see you there.
