Lakefront MN Family Vacations

Well the snow is coming slowly. We have received about 3” of fresh snow over the weekend and it is still snowing lightly. We are still in need of more snow to get the snowmobile trails open but I guess some is better than none. The lakes however have a pretty good ice cover.

We have close to 12” of ice on Hungry Jack Lake. I have heard reports from other area lakes that the ice has been ranging from 8”-12” pretty consistently. I know Gunflint Lake, Loon Lake, and Clearwater Lake have just recently froze and are probably not safe for travel yet. I would say that we have probably a good 6” to 8” of snow cover in total.

We have added a new Gunflint Trail Events Calendar page to the Hungry Jack Lodge website. We will be posting information on the Gunflint Trail Events Calendar page of our website about snow conditions (during the winter), Minnesota DNR season opening & closing dates, area activities & events for the Grand Marais and Gunflint Trail areas and of course special events occuring at our northern MN family resort.

We have a New Years Eve party planned plus we will be having a band during the middle of January. Find out about about about those two events, our Happy Hour and more on our Events Calendar page.

Many changes have been made in the Loggers Lounge bar of our winter resort for the 2009-2010 snowmobiling season.

The biggest change is that the Loggers Lounge at Hungry Jack Lodge now is a "full service" bar ! We now have a full liquor license and are serving hard liquor. In addition, we now have 6 different tap beers. Be sure to try our Hungry Jack Logger draft beer, available exclusivly at Hungry Jack Lodge. It's turned out to be a real favorite.

For those of you that want something to eat while snowmobiling on the Gunflint Trail snowmobile trail system, our food menu has also been expanded. We have expanded both our sandwich menu and now have a wider selection of appetizers to choose from.

Full liquor service. Six draft beers on tap. A wide selection of food choices. It's all available in the Loggers Louge at Hungry Jack Lodge, on the Gunflint Trail for the 2009-2010 snowmobiling and Minnesota winter activities seasons.

Also keep in mind that we rent snowmobiles. We have a total of 6 snowmobiles for rent, some of which are 2-up and some are 1-up. Once snowmobile conditions in the Grand Marais and Gunflint Trail areas of northern Minnesota get good, our rental snowmobiles are booked quickly. So, be sure to reserve your rental snowmobiles as early as you can.

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
All of us at Hungry Jack Lodge would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. It is also our hope that you have a Happy New Year and that the coming year brings you good health, happiness and prosperity.
