We received a 2" to 3" blanket of fresh snow along the Gunflint Trail during the morning of December 29th. The snowmobile trails in the Grand Marais and Gunflint Trail areas are starting to get some traffic and the snowmobile club has been out grooming. The reports I have heard from people that have been out snowmobiling is that the snowmobile trails are in pretty great shape with a good base of snow to work with as they continue to groom.
The photo below, looking across Hungry Jack Lake, was taken on December 29th and shows the current snow conditions that our winter cabin and log cabin rental customers are enjoying at our Minnesota snowmobiling resort during their winter get-away snowmobiling vacations.
Work on the new lodge building at our Minnesota lakefront family resort was somewhat slow last week due to cold temperatures and the Christmas holiday.
Little by little we are getting close to having the main log lodge building closed in. The front deck on the lodge is being worked on while we await delivery of windows. In addition, there are a couple of window openings to finish before the arrival of the windows for our resorts lakeside log lodge building.

The snowmobile club has been out working on the trails to get them ready for the upcoming season. No grooming has started yet but if we get more snow we anticipate the trails will be started to be groomed, again I will let you know when this happens. We have a good solid 8”+ of ice here on Hungry Jack Lake. I have not had a chance to go out and drill another hole to see what the current conditions are.
If you would like to be added to the snow report email list visit our winter resort website http://www.hungryjacklodge.com/ to sign up to receive free MN snow report emails. I will send out the next Gunflint Trail email snow report once the conditions change.
Our winter resort rental cabins and log cabins are filling up quickly.

Initially there were delays in starting construction due to awaiting permits and the like. And, there were instances of having to wait for materials that did not get delivered on time.
The lower level willl again house our famous "Loggers Lounge", with more room than it previous had. There will be a larger bar, more tables and a larger pool table and recreation area along with a stone fireplace.
The main-entrance level will again be be where our dining room and office will be located along with a new gift shop area and a relaxing "sitting area" complete with a cozy fireplace. The center section of the main level will be open to a two story high roof/ceiling.
Be sure to make your family vacation reservations for our northern MN lakeside cabins, log cabins and cottages earlier than normal for 2009. We anticipate that bookings at our Gunflint Trail resort will fill up faster than normal due to the many great new features and amenities.
In addition, our MN winter cabins, log cabins and cottage rentals are filling up quickly. If you are planning a winter get-away or snowmobiling vacation at our winter resort on the Gunflint Trail we suggest that you make your winter cabin reservations now.
DON'T DELAY IN MAKING YOUR WINTER CABIN
WAS A HUGE SUCCESS
The “Pigina-polka” cook-out benefit held at Hungry Jack Lodge on Sunday, August 17, 2008 was a huge success. Forrest Parson and Ericka would like to thank everyone that attended and contributed to the event. Proceeds from the event will be of great help in reconstructing a new main lodge to replace the lodge that had been totally destroyed by fire in March of 2008.
The people that attended came from near and far. There were of course many people in attendance that have homes and cabins on Hungry Jack Lake. Business owners and people residing along the Gunflint Trail also were in great numbers as were people from Grand Marais, Lutsen and other towns along the Northshore. There were also people from Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and other midwestern states at the benefit cook-out.
Most of the people who attended came by car, however a few of the Hungry Jack Lake residents came by canoe and kayak. Overall attendance was greater that expected and exceeded the anticipation of the staff of Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground.
The BBQ baby back ribs and chicken were excellent. Baked beans, coleslaw (with crab meat added) topped off the menu. There were of course plenty of ice cold beverages available to quench the thirst.
In addition to the excellent food there were other activities. Horseshoes, bean bag toss were popular with those who attended. Smaller kids enjoyed swimming at the sand beach on the rather warm and sunny day. Free pontoon boat rides to the base of Honeymoon Bluff, at the east end of Hungry Jack Lake, were an especially great hit with those in attendance.
Again, we at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground would like to thank all that attended. Your participation and contributions are greatly appreciated.
As construction of our new lodge proceeds will attempt to keep everyone up-to-date on this blog and on the Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground website at www.hungryjacklodge.com.
Come and enjoy an all you can eat southern BBQ! There will be Baby Back Ribs, Chicken, Beans and a Southern Slaw.
Other activities include: pontoon rides, horse shoes, corn hole, music, and more…
Invites are $15.00 a person. Get them now, call 218-388-2265.
All proceeds go to the rebuilding of Hungry Jack Lodge. Thank you for your support!
Please help us rebuild what
will be so very hard to replace .
Ken from Atlanta Ga. had a good week fishing at Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground during the week ending 5/24/2008.
He caught this 40" Northern right from our main dock at about 6:30 PM using a fly rod.
And then there was the 28" Walleye that he caught at our MN fishing resort too.
