When the new lodge at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground is completed it will be the most up-to-date and probably most impressive resort lodge on the Gunflint Trail in northern MN.The “Loggers Lounge” on the lower level of course has a fireplace and is considerably larger and less constricted than our old bar area. When it opens, the Loggers Lounge will have tap beer (6 taps) plus full liquor service. Multiple TV's, pool table & video games plus the latest in jukeboxes. Our bar will seat almost 3 times than of our old bar and there are multiple tables available for those who do not wish to sit at the bar.
The main level of our new lakeside lodge boasts a larger dining room, an outside dining porch for use during the summer months, a large casual sitting area with fireplace, a more efficient and less crowded office & check-in area and a new & better organized gift shop. Views looking east towards Hungry Jack Lake are truly spectacular from the two story cathedral ceiling main floor area.Our kitchen, as before, is on the main level of the new lodge. The kitchen has the latest in food preparation equipment. With more efficient kitchen equipment and a larger dining area we will be able to accommodate more people and larger private lakefront banquets, weddings and gathering than we had in the past. Once our new lodge is open we will again be serving our all-you-can-eat, family style dinners, that had been a favorite with both guests and local Cook County MN residents.
The NEW main lakefront lodge building at our Gunflint Trail, Grand Marais, MN lakeside resort will open on December 26th, for the Gunflint Trail winter snowmobiling and MN ice fishing seasons.
Beginning December 1, 2009 the new lodge will be available for Business Christmas Parties, Banquets and Weddings ONLY.
For information about the availability of Hungry Jack Lodge for banquets, weddings and parties please call us at (218) 338-1566.

Will the 2009 Minnesota Grouse Hunting season end up being a banner year in northeastern MN? All indications are that it well may be. Minnesota is often the nation's top ruffed grouse producing state. Average yearly statistics have 115,000 ruffed grouser hunters harvesting 545,000 ruffed grouse, the state's mostpopular game bird.
Results of the 2009 grouse drum counting survey, conducted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, indicated an increase of 44% in the NE portion of MN, compared to figures for the same area that were compiled in 2008. That being said, the MN grouse season, which opens on September 19th may very well end up being the best grouse hunting season in reecent years.
The Gunflint Trail and portions of the BWCAW in northeastern MN, where Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground is located has a long history of being one of the best grouse hunting areas in the United States. Small to medium sized Aspen trees, which are a favorite habitat for ruffed grouse, are in great quantity in NE Minnesota. The NE survey region of MN is the heaviest ruffed grouse populated area of MN and the Gunflint Trail and adjoining portions of the eastern BWCAW are prime areas within that NE region of Minnesota for ruffed grouse hunting.
Grouse hunting in Minnesota is open to residents and non-residents and requires a small game license. MN Small Game Hunting Licenses are available for purchase at Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground, as are fishing licenses for both MN residents and non-residents of Minnesota.
Being "mid-trail" on the Gunflint Trail, Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground is in what could probably be considered one of the best spots in northeastern MN (and the United States) to hunt ruffed grouse. During the fall Grouse Hunting season, cabin rental guests at our lakefront resort are almost without exception, treated to some of the best ruffed grouse hunting that they have ever experienced anywhere. Many of the ruffed grouse hunters that stay in our northern Minnesota rental cottages or log cabins have been coming to Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground repeatedly for years. In addition to our Gunflint Trail rental cabins and cottages, the full service campground at Hungry Jack Lodge in northeastern MN provides excellent services for Minnesota grouse hunters.

There you will find information about our Gunflint Trail lakeside rental cabins, cabin rental rates and informastion about our full service Minnesota RV and tent campground. Photos, videos and photo slideshows of our facilites and activites are abundant on the Hungry Jack Lodge website so that you can see exactly what we have to offer families, fishermen and hunters. Why "take a chance" and end up at some place that ends up being much less than you expected or wanted.
Online MN lakefront cabin rental reservations are available from the Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground website. (Sorry - Campground reservations must be made by telephone.) Or, if you prefer to make your lakefront cabin rental reeservation by telephone you can do so by calling us at (800) 388-1566.
