About

Gunflint Lodge & Outfitters is a classic Northwoods lakeside resort nestled into the Boreal forest on the south shore of Gunflint Lake, between the Canadian border and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Drive the legendary Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais, on the North Shore of Lake Superior, laced with ancient White Pines, and keep your eyes open for moose, wolves, Canadian lynx and black bear. Once you’re here, relax in front of your fireplace, soak up the sun, and experience the Milky Way in the world’s largest Dark Skies Sanctuary. Feed your body with hand-crafted Northwoods cuisine and your sense of adventure with the many activities offered—from zip lining and horseback riding to guided fishing and Naturalist activities. Or outfit your whole group for a trip into the Boundary Waters. Whatever you choose, it will be an experience you’ll never forget.

nice cabins near the boundary waters

We stayed in one of the small cabins. The programming offered here was awesome. We signed up for a educational workshop about birds and bird calls, and it was essentially a private class for just us 4. The restaurant on the grounds had great food too. We enjoyed swimming and paddling on the lake. The only downside is that the cabins were pretty close next to each other, so we could hear our neighbors throughout the night.
