MN Black Bear hunting season is set to open just a few days from now on September 1st. Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground is located in Bear Hunt Permit Area 31. Thought we are in Area 31, the eastern portion of Bear Hunt Permit Area 22 (BWCAW) is relatively close to our lakeside resort to the east, west and south.

Due to the fact that our location on the Gunflint Trail is in a very sparsely populated portion of Bear Hunt Permit Area 31, there is very little bear hunting pressure. This normally insures a higher success ratio for bear hunters than in the more southern portions of Bear Permit Area 31. Additionally, the vast majority of land in the northern portion of Bear Permit Area 31, where we are located, is mostly State and Federal property. That being the case, there is less of a problem with your ending up trespassing on private property.

In addition, Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground is very often used as a “base camp” by bear hunters who have permits for Bear Permit Area 22 (BWCAW). This is due to the fact that our Gunflint Trail location offers such easy access to the eastern portions of Permit Area 22. Because Area 22 is totally within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), no motorized vehicles are allowed in Bear Permit Area 22.

Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground is about a half a mile outside of Permit Area 22, making it an ideal place bear hunters with permits for Bear Hunt Permit Area 22 to stay in lakeside cabins or to camp out of their travel trailers or motor homes.

The campground at Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground offers electric and water hook-ups for RV’s and excellent tent camping too. We of course have a no charge, central shower house and washroom for campers. Plus, free campfire wood is always available for campers staying at our secluded lakeside campground on the Gunflint Trail.
